Rubella_Mumps_UK_8687: Rubella and Mumps Serological Survey Data (UK, 1986-1987)

In TeaKov/serostat: Modeling Infectious Disease Parameters Based on Serological and Social Contact Data R Package

Description

For feasibility and economical reasons, serum samples are often tested for more that one antigen. In this way, the (past) disease status of individuals on multiple diseases is known, and this allows studying the association in acquisition of several infections. Data from mumps and rubella are obtained from a large survey on the prevalence of antibodies to these infections in the UK, as described in Rubella_UK_8687 and Mumps_UK_8687. In this survey, in total 8179 individuals were tested for both rubella and mumps IgG antibodies.
