EpiSouth Thematic Notes
EpiSouth: Network for the control of communicable
diseases in Mediterranean countries
• Thematic Notes
ad hoc
- To further document special public event or outbreak or disease
(CCHF, Melamine, Arenavirus, H1N1, Alkhurma, West Nile, Hajj pilgrimage,
Olympic games, FIFA world cup,etc.)
• EpiSouth network started in October 2006
• The network is composed of 27 countries and 7 Working
programmes (WP)
• Objective of the EpiSouth PLUS project:
- Increase the health security in the Mediterranean area and SouthEast Europe by enhancing and strengthening the preparedness to
common health threats and bio-security risks at national and
regional levels in the countries of the EpiSouth network.
• Epidemic intelligence (EI) and cross-border alerts, one of WP
is managed by Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS), the French
institute for public health surveillance.
The EpiSouth Early warning System
• Mediterranean Alert Early warning system
• Secured web site (confidential)
• Objective of this WP
- Enhance Mediterranean Early Warning functions allowing alerts
and Epidemic intelligence information sharing among EpiSouth
countries
- Share verified information detected through epidemic intelligence
- Development of a Mediterranean Early Alert System through
secure exchange platform for national cross-border alerts
• To share national alerts /confidential information
• Operational since November 09
• Accessible to
- EpiSouth FP (NPHI, MoH)
- Majors Stakeholders: WHO, ECDC, EC
• Complements existing systems : WHO, E.U. / ECDC
• Overview of alerts posted on the platform:
- 115 Alerts/postings
. 107 in EpiSouth countries - 94%
. 8 in non EpiSouth countries - 6%
. By year:
2009: 21 postings (19%)
2010: 58 postings (51%)
2011: 34 postings (30%)
2012: 2 postings
Rationale for Epidemic Intelligence (EI)
• The EI objective is to detect, using formal and informal sources (media internet…) health threats that may
affect EpiSouth countries’ population.
• In all countries devoted resources to public health are limited and duplication should be minimised as much
as possible. The EI carried out by EpiSouth is initially based on the expertise developed since 2002, by the
Institut de Veille Sanitaire (InVS).
EI Definition and characteristics
• 22 countries (areas affected):
- 77% from EpiSouth (n=17) vs 23% non-EpiSouth (n=5)
• EI aims to identify potential health risks for the EpiSouth countries population in all
EpiSouth territories: travellers, immigrants and expatriates.
• 32 diseases
• EI complements “traditional” epidemiological surveillance
• EI is NOT “international surveillance” ( i.e. no objective of exhaustivity)
EpiSouth support to major public health crisis
• Tailored to respond to EpiSouth countries needs
The Novel A(H1N1) pandemic in 2009
• Only verified information disseminated
• Source of data: EpiSouth countries
• Not limited to infectious diseases
• Data collected:
- Confirmed cases
- Case definition and case management
- Deaths / severe cases
- Transmission, circulation intensity
- Imported VS local cases
Detection of primary signals
• Regular monitoring of official websites
WHO, OIE …
ECDC, and other Regional networks …
MoHs, MoAs …
Public Health Institutes & Laboratories
Local partners : NGOs, private sector…
• Confirmed cases forwarded to ECDC
(esp. Middle-East, North African region)
• Descriptive analysis on a weekly basis
• Development of signal selection criteria and a validation strategy.
• Information shared with the network:
- Daily bulletin (the first 2 months);
- Twice a week (intermediate period)
- Weekly bulletin (until the end)
West Nile virus outbreaks in the Mediterranean area
• 2010 WN epidemic
- Unexpected high viral circulation.
- Provided broad perspective of WNV circulation (Survey + case
counts)
- Heterogeneity of resources available for WN surveillance
- Countries considering implementation of WN surveillance
Criteria for EpiSouth
• 2011 WN epidemic
- Similar dynamic compared to 2010.
- 2010 was not an isolated event
- Work performed in 2010 raised awareness on not fully operational
surveillance in place
- Surveillance systems have been strengthened in some countries
- Articulation and synergies with other WP especially WP4-laboratory
Geographical criteria
- Risk of spread to an EpiSouth country(ies)
- Risk of imported cases
- Countries of origin of migrants
- Countries with expatriate community
- Touristic destinations
- Neighbouring areas
EpiSouth network perspectives
Criteria related to the nature of the threat
- Mortality
- Morbidity
- Transmissibility / spread
- Knowledge of the causal agent
- Re-emergence of a previously controlled disease
• Common understanding and expectation from epidemic
intelligence throughout the area
• It raised awareness on regional and cross-border issues
• Created trust, cohesion and concrete collaboration among PH officers of 27 countries
• Fills a gap in a region where countries belong to different political/supranational entities that is not
addressed, as a whole, neither by the European Commission nor by WHO
• Need to strengthen public health information sharing in the area
EpiSouth tools: 3 different formats
Key role for regional networks
