Sciensano’s Epidemiology of infectious diseases service:
- describes the epidemiology of rickettsioses in Belgium (in terms of age, gender, geographical location, country of infection and severity)
- follows trends over time
- identifies potential risk factors.
The data are collected by the National Reference Center for rickettsioses at the Institute for Tropical Medicine and through mandatory reporting.
The results are presented in an annual report, see the ‘Other Publications’ section at the bottom of this web page.
