Each instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a> consists of at least one <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQw4WZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysiologicalCondition</a>, usually an instance of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a>. More often an instance of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a> consists of a <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvVjmoJwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Group</a> of several different <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQw4WZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">PhysiologicalCondition</a>s or <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwQwYVpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">AilmentCondition</a>s that are suffered by the same <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rvViwMZwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">Animal</a> at about the same time.

Syndromic surveillance systems track the number of cases of types of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a>s over time for a given geographical region as potential indicators of the presence of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwVh-HpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">InfectiousDiseaseType</a>s and <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rW3J2ehjOEdaAAABgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">InfectiousDiseaseEpidemic</a>s in the population. Since <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a>s are just clusters of symptoms, they can be detected by a clinician during examination of the affected animal/person. Thus syndromic surveillance systems should be capable of detecting disease outbreaks earlier than surveillance systems that monitor diagnoses that require results from diagnostic procedures. SurveillanceSyndrome BIOS-SurveillanceSyndromeType type of surveillance syndrome A collection of collections. Each instance is a type of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a> monitored by the EssenceII BioSurveillance System. The instances of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XwegFJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">BIOS_SurveillanceSyndromeType</a> form the complete set of <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XvQYlJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">SurveillanceSyndrome</a>s types monitored by the EssenceII BioSurveillanceSystem. Pretty String (<a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> TERM STRING) means that STRING is the English word or expression (sequence of words) commonly used to refer to TERM. The predicate <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4rwLSVCpwpEbGdrcN5Y29ycA" class="cyc_term">prettyString</a> is used by the code which generates CycL to English paraphrases, but its applicability is not restricted to this use. prettyString upper respiratory infection syndrome BIOS-URISurveillanceSyndrome The <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8XwegFJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">BIOS_SurveillanceSyndromeType</a> that typically indicates the presence of an infection of the upper respiratory system (see <a href="http://sw.opencyc.org/2008/06/10/concept/Mx4r8X0v8FJGEdaKLgBgCEAsSQ" class="cyc_term">UpperRespiratoryInfection</a>).
