This risk assessment evaluates the risk of yellow fever infection, which has seen outbreaks in Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, being introduced into Europe, and sets out a range of options for response.
Illnesses caused by infectious diseases are common in children in schools or other childcare settings. Currently there is no common EU approach to the control of communicable diseases in schools or other childcare settings, and existing information is uncertain.
The aim of this document is to highlight measures that can effectively reduce the risk of importation and local transmission of pathogens transmitted by Ae. aegypti and Ae. albopictus. The main diseases of concern in this context are Zika, dengue, chikungunya and yellow fever.
This document assesses the risk of yellow fever infections in Europe related to the ongoing outbreak of yellow fever in Angola, and the notification of imported cases in China and possibly Mauritania.
