Since becoming operational in 2005 the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has worked on diseases ranging from “bird flu” to XDR-Tuberculosis and from Chikungunya Fever to Clostridium difficile. The Centre is currently deeply involved in supporting the EU’s response to the new H1N1 influenza virus.
