Abstract excerpt
Typhoid fever epidemiology was investigated rigorously in Santiago, Chile during the 1980s, when Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi ( S . Typhi) caused seasonal, hyperendemic disease. Targeted interventions reduced the annual typhoid incidence rates from 128-220 cases/10 5 population occurring between 1977-1984 to <8 cases/10 5 from 1992 onwards. As such, Santiago represents a contemporary example of the epidemiolo...
