MAVROULI, M., MAVROULIS, S., LEKKAS, E., TSAKRIS, A. (2017). – Potential infectious diseases following tsunamis induced by earthquakes. 27th European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases, Abstract ID 1714.

Our study referred to potential ID following tsunamis induced after great earthquakes during the last 12 years. The establishment of strong disaster preparedness plans characterized by adequate environmental planning, resistant infrastructures and resilient health facilities is significant for the early detection, surveillance and control of emerging ID. Moreover, the establishment and the unceasing function of reliable early warning systems may help mitigate tsunami-related impact on public health.
