Abstract

The Diphtheria Surveillance Network (DIPNET), launched on 1 November 2006, is a 38-month programme bringing together 25 European Union partner countries (24 Member States and Turkey) and collaborating countries beyond Europe in a global dedicated surveillance network for diphtheria and related infections caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae and C. ulcerans [1].
