Provision of basic public health services were compromised, including repairing antiquated water and sewer systems, resulting in increased risk for gastroenteritis and infections with hepatitis A [ 11 ] ; the largest documented outbreak of typhoid in this century occurred in Tajikistan in February 1997 [ 12 ] . Practices such as reusing syringes during vaccination and poor sterilization procedures during dentistry have contributed to nosocomial outbreaks of HIV and a high prevalence of infections with hepatitis B [ 13 ] .
The total cases from unknown sources is then calculated by estimating the total cases of gastroenteritis in the U.S. and subtracting the cases of known origins.
For total cases of gastroenteritis, we used a normal distribution with a mean of the original point estimate, and a standard deviation of 20 percent of the original estimate.
Not only does this percentage affect the estimated number of foodborne cases of that disease, but it dominates the overall estimated percentage of gastroenteritis cases attributed to food, and thus the estimate for cases of unknown etiology.
To represent the uncertainty of the assumption that the portion of gastroenteritis cases of unknown origin attributable to foodborne pathogens is the same as for cases of known origin, we draw the portion of unknown cases from a normal distribution around the portion of known cases (after it is calculated, since it varies with each iteration) with a standard deviation of 8 percentage points.
