Following the outbreak of Chikungunya in the Indian Ocean in the winter of 2006, ECDC called a consultation of experts in order to assess the short-term risk of transmission of Chikungunya virus in Europe, and to suggest recommendations for the European Member States for strengthening their preparedness.
Pärast chikungunya puhangut India ookeani piirkonnas 2006. aasta talvel korraldas ECDC ekspertide nõupidamise, et hinnata chikungunya-viiruse Euroopas levimise lühiajalist ohtu ja teha liikmesriikidele soovitusi valmisoleku tugevdamiseks.
