Eurosurveillance is an open-access medical journal covering epidemiology, surveillance, prevention, and control of communicable diseases with a focus on topics relevant for Europe. The journal is a non-profit publication and is published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.[1][2]
History
The journal is jointly funded by the European Commission, the Réseau national de santé publique (later, Institut de Veille Sanitaire now Agence nationale de santé publique) in Paris, France, and the Public Health Laboratory Service (later, Health Protection Agency and Public Health England now UK Health Security Agency) in London, England, and a pilot issue was published in 1995. In 2005, collaboration started with the newly established European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in Stockholm and a weekly epidemiological bulletin was published. Two years later, in 2007, the journal was transferred entirely to ECDC, which has published it since. Karl Ekdahl became the newly appointed editor-in-chief in 2008 and since 2011, Ines Steffens has been editor-in-chief of the journal.[3]
