Communicable disease threats report, 18-24 April 2026, Week 17

The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has published its Communicable Disease Threats Report for 18-24 April 2026, Week 17.

The weekly bulletin, published on April 24, covers avian influenza, Salmonella Bovismorbificans and respiratory virus epidemiology in the EU/EEA.

ECDC says the CDTR is a weekly report intended for epidemiologists and public-health professionals monitoring active threats. The agency publishes the bulletin as part of its regular surveillance work.

This week’s edition is the latest in the series and follows the Week 16 report published earlier in April. The publication serves as a routine update rather than a single-event alert, but it remains an important reference point for ongoing disease monitoring.

For health authorities and readers tracking communicable disease trends, the key takeaway is that the same surveillance issues remain under active review this week.
