Figure 1. The literature describing existing systems for illnesses and syndromes potentially related to bioterrorism and the
numbers of peer-reviewed evaluations for each category of surveillance systems are presented. The number of references often
exceeds the number of surveillance systems because systems were often described in several reports. Also, several reports
provided data about systems of more than 1 surveillance type. Search results.
