The latest EU/EEA figures show a continuing upward trend in the number of cases of dengue imported from dengue-endemic regions, as well as an increasing number of local outbreaks of West Nile virus infections and dengue within the EU/EEA.
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 1-7 June 2024 and includes updates on SARS-CoV-2 variant classification, cholera, out-of-season increase in norovirus, seasonal surveillance on West Nile virus infections, Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), influenza A(H5N2), Oropouche virus disease, and an overview of respiratory virus epidemiology in the EU/EEA.
The ECDC updates are based on available data reported through the European Surveillance System (TESSy) by the national public health authorities of EU/EEA countries.
