Causative Agent Reports

On 1 October 2010, section 4 of the new Public Health Regulations came into force for the notification of laboratory confirmed disease. From this date, all laboratories in England performing a primary diagnostic role must notify the HPA on the confirmation of a notifiable organism. We will be publishing reports on the numbers of laboratory notifications received by the HPA on this page.
Please note that there is a significant difference between data collected following a suspicion of infectious disease, confirmed incidence of any given disease and these laboratory confirmed notifications. Please feel free to contact the Information Section at the Centre for Infections for information on how data published on this site can be interpreted or to suggest modifications to the style of our reports.
