Cyprus, the site of a recent Legionnaire’s disease outbreak, is the only country in the European Union that is not a member of the European Working Group for Legionella Infections (EWGLI). EWGLI, which stands for European Working Group for Legionella Infections, was created in 1986 by epidemiologists and microbiologists to improve the knowledge already acquired about Legionnaires’ disease. Cyprus is also not a signatory to the European Guidelines for travel associated Legionnaire’s disease (EWGLINET). EWGLINET is a surveillance network for all of Europe which collects information on outbreaks of the disease associated with travel. EWGLINET established a set of procedures in 2002 to control and prevent Legionnaire’s disease associate with travel for all of Europe. The European Union adopted these guidelines in 2003. EWGLINET also provides an early warning system to everyone who is a part of the system as well as public officials. A main objective of EWGLINET is to detect common source outbreaks early on and to allow member-states to start preventive action on a timely basis. It has a dedicated website which provides significant information for a potential traveler about any travel associated outbreaks.
