Eurosurveillance is an editorially Independent, peer-reviewed journal published by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. It covers infectious-disease epidemiology, surveillance, prevention and control. Its articles are open access and are intended to inform European public-health work.
The journal publishes national surveillance analyses as well as outbreak research. Studies can use laboratory results, patient characteristics and travel histories to distinguish domestic transmission from imported infection. Eurosurveillance's role is to publish and scrutinise that evidence for a European audience. The underlying surveillance, case management and policy response remain with national and regional health institutions. This division lets the journal spread comparable methods and findings without becoming an outbreak-response agency itself.
