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.
Po izbruhu virusa čikungunja v Indijskem oceanu pozimi leta 2006 je ECDC začel posvetovanje, da bi ocenil kratkoročno tveganje prenosa virusa čikungunja v Evropo in predlagal priporočila za izboljšanje pripravljenosti držav članic EU.
