The Epidemic Intelligence Information System (EPIS) is a web-based communication platform that allows nominated public health experts to exchange technical information to assess whether current and emerging public health threats have a potential impact in the European Union (EU).
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 15-21 November 2015 and includes updates on Zika virus, MERS and Ebola virus disease.
As part of the 10-year anniversary events, ECDC hosted a scientific seminar to discuss some of the pressing public health challenges to Europe, such as antimicrobial resistance and influenza.
