The Protocol is targeted at the national public health reference laboratories to guide the susceptibility testing needed for EU surveillance and the reporting to ECDC.
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 15-22 October 2023 and includes updates on respiratory virus epidemiology in the EU/EEA, SARS-CoV-2 variant classification, cryptosporidiosis, dengue, West Nile virus, and mass gathering monitoring for the Rugby World Cup.
Following an increase in the number of cases of Ebola virus disease being recorded in West Africa, ECDC has updated its risk assessment and presents options for prevention and control of the disease for European citizens.
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.
In 2018–2019, data on antimicrobial resistance in zoonotic and indicator bacteria, submitted by 28 EU Member States (MSs), were jointly analysed by the EFSA and the ECDC.
This protocol for harmonised monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in Salmonella and Campylobacter from human isolates aims to increase the quality and comparability of antimicrobial resistance data collected at the EU level from different Member States. It is primarily targeted to the National Public Health Reference Laboratories to guide the susceptibility testing needed for EU surveillance and the reporting to ECDC.
This seventh update assesses the risks associated with the Zika virus epidemic currently affecting countries in the Americas, as well as the risk of local vector-borne transmission in Europe during the 2016 summer season.
Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever is transmitted by bites from infected ticks (mainly of the Hyalomma genus) or by direct contact with blood or tissues of infected ticks.
The risks assessed in this document are of the introduction and further spread of monkeypox in the EU/EEA, infection with regards to different settings (e.g. healthcare, community, etc.) and transmission through SoHO.
Third update of a previous assessment on the ongoing transmission of hepatitis A virus infection mainly affecting men who have sex with men in EU/EEA countries.
