The ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) is a weekly bulletin for epidemiologists and health professionals on active public health threats. This issue covers the period from 21–27 April 2019 and includes updates on influenza A(H7N9), chikungunya and dengue, dengue, Ebola virus disease, influenza, Rift Valley fever and risks of communicable diseases related to Cyclone Idai.
On 8 and 9 December 2011, ECDC organised an expert meeting to review the draft guidelines with a panel of experts and potential users from public health authorities from across the EU. This report contains the main suggestions and recommendations of the meeting to improve the guidelines.
Rift Valley fever is an acute viral febrile haemorrhagic disease that affects primarily ruminants in Africa and in the Arabian Peninsula: cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats and camels. Humans may become infected by mosquito bites and through direct or indirect contact with the blood or organs of infected animals.
