Frequently Asked Questions
How recent is "recent" on this page?
This page lists every WHO Disease Outbreak News publication from the last 24 months — 430 events at the time of writing, drawn from 23 distinct diseases across 181 countries.
Does an empty country mean no risk?
No. Many low-surveillance countries under-report. Absence of an event in the table is evidence of absence of publication, not absence of disease. See the Disclaimer for the full caveats.
How often is this updated?
The underlying registry is re-synced weekly. Counts and rankings on this page reflect the registry as of the last sync.
