چکیده
Infectious diseases are (re-) emerging in Europe. Tropical infectious diseases such as chikungunya and dengue fever have recently been transmitted in Europe in part due to global air traffic and climate change [1,2]. This calls for a proactive public health response to (re-) emerging infectious disease threats both in Europe and globally as well as careful monitoring of infectious disease drivers. Such drivers are globalisation and environmental change, social and demographic change and public health system factors [3]. In order to address this need, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has developed the European Environment and Epidemiology (E3) Network [4].
