Publications
ECDC publishes scientific and technical reports on various issues related to communicable diseases prevention and control, including comprehensive reports from key technical and scientific meetings.
In November 2011, ECDC published its fifth Annual Epidemiological Report (AER). The report describes areas where a more concerted public health response is required in order to decrease the present and future burden of communicable disease on society and healthcare systems. The data presented here further contributes to ECDC’s task of providing the evidence-base for public health action.
This edition of the Annual Epidemiological Report presents the surveillance data reported to ECDC for 2009 and an analysis of the public health threats detected in 2010 through ECDC’s routine epidemic intelligence.
