- Abstract
In this article the authors discuss respiratory disease surveillance which the U.S. Department of the United States has been conducting on U.S. military personnel since the 1970s and reports on the World Health Organization's International Health Regulations, which are guidelines for reporting public health threats. They are supportive of the department's disease surveillance efforts and of the health regulations but suggest many governments need to develop new disease reporting policies.
