The purpose of this scoping review is to describe and summarise the rationale behind and methodological approaches used to conduct cascade-of-care analyses for TB infection in low-TB incidence countries.
This joint guidance by the ECDC and EMCDDA aims to strengthen the evidence base for developing national strategies for preventing and controlling infections and infectious diseases among people who inject drugs.
This protocol sets out measures for the follow-up and management of individuals exposed to infected animals and human cases of avian influenza, and for the public health management of possible and confirmed human cases.
This document is an update of the joint guidance that was published in 2011 by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).
Tuberculosis (TB) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in Europe. High-quality laboratory diagnosis of TB is the basis for both individual patient treatment and surveillance.
This document describes how to strengthen surveillance in hospital settings for the identification of severely affected patients infected with avian influenza virus in the EU/EEA.
Since 16 May 2022, and as of 4 April 2023, 21 170 cases of mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) have been reported by countries within the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
Since the risk assessment published by ECDC in August 2021 on the risk of vCJD disease transmission via blood and PDMP manufactured from donations obtained in the UK, no new cases of vCJD associated with dietary exposure or transfusion of blood or blood components have been reported in EU/EEA or in the rest of the world.
This document aims to provide guidance for public health and laboratory experts in identifying human infections with animal influenza viruses as early as possible to provide early warning and inform risk assessments and public health measures.
