between February and June 2020. Emerging themes were clustered and analysed around a WHO framework for health information systems (HIS). We analyse strengths of HIS at two levels: (i) dealing with health ...

Use of a Whole Genome Sequencing-based approach for Mycobacterium tuberculosis surveillance in Europe in 2017-2019: an ECDC pilot study.

comparability.From 25 countries, 2218 RR / MDR- MTBC isolates were collected. Fifty-six cross-border clusters with increased likelihood of recent transmission (≤5 SNP s distance) comprising a total of 316 RR / MDR- ...

Phylogeography of Human and Animal Strains: Genetic Fingerprinting of Q Fever in Belgium.

Sequencing (WGS) (n=4) methods were used to characterize samples/strains during 2009-2019. Three MLVA clusters (A, B, C) subdivided in 23 subclusters (A1- A12, B1- B8, C1- C3) and 3 SNP types (SNP1, SNP2, ...
