Russian term

пораженность

Russian to English Medical Medical (general) Epidemiology
In this text I already have:
заболеваемость - incidence
распространенность - prevalence
распространение - spread
... and now comes "пораженность". I found the term "attack rate," but am not sure about it. In the KudoZ glossary I found "chronic affection," which sounds bizarre to me because of the primary meaning of "affection" (любовь, расположение), but perhaps that is blinding me to a technical term - "affection" as the state of being affected by something.

Original: Данные о проявлениях эпидемического процесса ВИЧ-инфекции (распространенности ВИЧ-инфекции во времени и пространстве, группах населения, темпах движения заболеваемости, впервые выявленных случаях заболевания, ***пораженности*** населения ВИЧ, смертях вследствие СПИДа и т. д.) поступают через системы эпидемиологического надзора....

Draft: Data on the HIV epidemic process (prevalence in time, space and population groups, rates of change of incidence, new reported cases of the diseases, HIV ***attack rate in the population***, deaths due to AIDS, etc.) are collected through epidemiological surveillance systems....

Discussion

Marina Prozorova Feb 3, 2010:
I would consider (HIV-)infected population or diseased population... Something like: "...new reported HIV cases, infected/diseased population, AIDS-related deaths..."
Yuliya UA Feb 2, 2010:
см. Number(percentage) of HIV positive people/ number of HIV cases. If this better fits into the context.
Vladimir Dubisskiy Feb 2, 2010:
attack rate chronic affection is more about "to fall in love again and again (chronically) :-))

affected in this sense does not mean "influenced by," but 'поражено.;

1) prevalence is a comment about how widespread the disease is
2) incidence is a neutral statement of fact about the occurrence of the disease
3) population affected by disease: focus is on the population

Rachel, I would recommend a few modifications to your translation as follows: Data pertaining to manifestations of the HIV epidemic process (prevalence of HIV infection across time and space, disease demographics, disease progression rates, earliest detected cases of the disease, HIV affected population, deaths resulting from AIDS, et cetera) are generated by epidemiological surveillance systems.
Note from asker:
And how does that differ from 1) prevalence, and 2) incidence? Because both of those are in the same list, in one guise or another.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "So far, I'm not ready to use any of the suggested terms, which is why this isn't going into the glossary, but KudoZ is on my case to do something. Judith's suggestion is the only one I see which both 1) works with "населения", and 2) is not simply a different way of saying prevalence or incidence - although it seems pretty doggone close to prevalence. Since my author takes almost all his terms from English writings on epidemiology, I do think there's a different English technical term lurking somewhere, and that it's possibly "attack rate," although that is apparently used for a subpopulation, not for "the" population. Ultimately, I may be able to find out from the author what is intended, but that will happen weeks from now."

infectin rate

See

...Показана высокая пораженность туберкулезом среди беженцев; иностранных граждан и лиц без гражданства, ищущих убежища на территории РФ; бездомных...

...They show high infection rates in refugees, foreign citizens and stateless individuals who are seeking refuge in the Russian Federation, and homeless persons..

Prevalence and incidence are used for whatever desease. As HIV is an infectious disease, "infection rate" reflects its nature. This term is often used for TB, HIV and other contagious diseases. Though any of the aforementioned terms may be used. Prevalence is IMHO the best term for wide spread occurrence. The most usual and neutral term is incidence.

carrier

Ultimately the meaning is how many people have it. This is what I would use.

HIV carrier rate in the population

Morbidity

Morbidity
Morbidity (from Latin morbidus: sick, unhealthy) refers to a diseased state, disability, or poor health due to any cause.[14] The term may be used to refer to the existence of any form of disease, or to the degree that the health condition affects the patient. Among severely ill patients, the level of morbidity is often measured by ICU scoring systems.

The Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Reports (MMWR) is CDC's premiere journal. Public health reports, recommendations, and announcements on a variety of disease topics are published weekly.

Incidence is a measure of the risk of developing some new / condition within a specified period of time. Although sometimes loosely expressed simply as the number of new cases during some time period, it is better expressed as a proportion or a rate with a denominator.

The prevalence of a disease in a statistical population is defined as the total number of cases of the disease in the population at a given time, or the total number of cases in the population, divided by the number of individuals in the population. It is used as an estimate of how common a condition is within a population over a certain period of time.

And: prevalence = infection rate, IMHO
Peer comment(s):

agree Martinique : В данном контексте я бы тоже, пожалуй, выбрала morbidity -- именно ее в русском перечне не хватает. Хотя в некоторых документах пораженность определяют как распространенность/prevalence, например тут: http://www.aids74.com/print_news.php?id=2167
