T1 0-48 Epistemic_statement denotes Infectious disease risk from the Syrian conflict
T2 61-232 Epistemic_statement denotes The breakdown of health care in Syria under the present conflict has been highlighted in ProMED reports on the increasing risk of leishmaniasis [1] [2] [3] [4] and rabies.
T3 315-662 Epistemic_statement denotes A recent report from Mé decins Sans Frontiè res 6 highlights not only the destruction of health care facilities and the difficulties in treating injured people, but also describes the absence of childhood immunizations in many areas, lack of pharmaceuticals including antibiotics, and the lack of access to clean water and surge in diarrhea cases.

T5 1109-1225 Epistemic_statement denotes 10 Under these circumstances a surge in infectious diseases in both Syria and neighboring countries can be expected.
T6 1639-1757 Epistemic_statement denotes 13 Thus the MERS-CoV may also exist in Syria, and the refugee camps pose a particular threat to airborne transmission.
T7 1758-1889 Epistemic_statement denotes At present the reservoir of the infection is not known and neither are its transmission potential and the proportion of mild cases.
T8 2036-2131 Epistemic_statement denotes Upper respiratory tract infections will increase and epidemics of influenza are to be expected.
T9 2132-2252 Epistemic_statement denotes The crowded living conditions combined with a lack of health care facilities will result in an increase in tuberculosis.

T17 4968-5092 Epistemic_statement denotes However, a transmission potential exists and a febrile patient with no specific symptoms should be investigated for malaria.
T18 5093-5262 Epistemic_statement denotes There is little doubt that rabies circulation in animals, especially dogs, is increasing in Syria, with an expected increased risk of rabies in the human population too.
