Communicable disease threats report, 26 September - 2 October, week 40
Week 40: global and European surveillance share a cover
The 26 September–2 October ECDC report includes Ebola, human avian-influenza infections, respiratory surveillance and seasonal mosquito-borne reporting. It also includes monthly global cholera and MERS sections, which have different geographical scopes from its EU/EEA sections.
Avoid combining these into one European outbreak total. Use our number-comparison guide to check each section’s geography and period, then the cholera guide for background on one of the diseases covered by the global monitoring.
