By identifying these LTZs, and using the dynamic pathogen-content information contained within them, we are able to differentiate between disease-causes at the individual patient level often with near-perfect predictive accuracy. To investigate the possibility of LTZs in a large regional area, we analyze clinical data from a healthcare medical center in the city of Jerusalem, containing the clinical test results for Influenza virus and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) from patients presenting with ILI symptoms. Our analysis finds that while Influenza and RSV incidences tend to overlap and show more or less equal number of cases over the whole region, individual LTZs show a far more homogeneous disease content at most given times, with some being dominated by RSV while others by Influenza.	./cache/cord-002408-bbtslrrt.txt	./txt/cord-002408-bbtslrrt.txt
