So what is the criteria for a Nationally Notifiable Disease??!!
Apparently not Parasites..hmmm
I've just received this update a few days ago from the CDC as their weekly update service for the MMWR newsletter.
Here is a compilation of all the notifiable diseases in 2006.
Giardia seems to be the only one I see as a parasitic infection.
Why isn't Neurocysticercosis included? This is prevalent in the U.S. and is quite debilatating but NOT REPORTED. Why not?
