Communicable disease threats report, 22 - 28 August, week 35
Week 35: one briefing, several distinct events
The 22–28 August ECDC report includes a fatal diphtheria case in Italy, Ebola reporting for the DRC and Uganda, human swine-influenza variant infections, and seasonal surveillance. It also contains global cholera and poliovirus updates.
These sections should not be combined into one outbreak narrative. Our report guide explains how to read an event investigation alongside routine monitoring, and the cholera guide offers background without turning the report’s monthly update into current worldwide totals.
