title: [Modern methods for surveillance of communicable disease: general introduction (author's transl)].
abstract: Epidemiological surveillance has now become a fully developed discipline, to which several technical specialties contribute. All kinds of new problems resulting from present conditions of life have enlarged the field of surveillance beyond the old concept of morbidity-mortality. This has necessitated the application of new methodology--a stimulating challenge for those who are engaged in epidemiological surveillance.
