[A cluster sampling method and possibility of using it for mass screening of rickettsial infections].
Cluster sample technique has become a standard methodology for evaluation of immunization coverage and assessment of morbidity and mortality due to vaccine preventable and diarrhoeal diseases. The method is based on obtaining data in 30 randomly selected clusters and considered a statistically justified and economical alternative to the simple random sample approach. Cluster sample technique seems a relevant methodology for seroepidemiological studies and other surveys conducted as a part of surveillance of Rickettsial diseases.
