With cases of Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus recently detected in Kenya and Nigeria, ECDC reiterates the low risk for Europe while highlighting the need for preparedness.
With the EU experiencing its most intense West Nile virus season to date and detections of the virus in new areas further north in Europe, ECDC calls for sustained prevention, surveillance and mosquito control.
Following the reported death of a laboratory worker in Irkutsk, Russia, from pneumonia that is suspected to be pneumonic plague, ECDC is closely monitoring the situation.
A healthcare worker from Europe based in the DRC who tested positive for Bundibugyo virus on 29 September has been medically evacuated to receive specialised care.
