The ''Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'' is a weekly epidemiological digest for the United States published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). It is the main vehicle for publishing public health information and recommendations that have been received by the CDC from state health departments. Material published in the report is in the public domain and may be reprinted without permission.〔(''Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'': About Us ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Retrieved July 24, 2009.〕 , the journal's editor-in-chief is Ronald Moolenaar.〔(''Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'' Staff ), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Retrieved October 21, 2010.〕 As noted in the sequel, some single reports have evoked media interest also outside health and medical contexts. However, many reports are parts of series, providing consistent long-terms statistics, and also indicating trend changes. Such a standing report section is the ''"Notifiable Diseases and Mortality Tables"'', which reports deaths by disease and state, and city for city, for 122 large cities. As another example, there are more than a hundred items about West Nile virus infections, since the 1999 outbreak of the disease in the US. In the years 2001-2005, there were weekly updates of the WNV situation, during the warm seasons.〔(MMWR Weekly: Past Volumes (1982 - 2010) )〕 == Notable articles == * The spread of Hepatitis A among attendees of jam band concert tours (September 2003).〔("Public Health Dispatch: Multistate Outbreak of Hepatitis A Among Young Adult Concert Attendees --- United States, 2003" ) (MMWR 52(35), September 5, 2003)〕〔O' Neil, John.
