At least we'll make the news... who.int Diseases covered by CSR - Anthrax - Avian influenza - Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) - Dengue/dengue haemorrhagic fever - Ebola haemorrhagic fever - Hepatitis - Influenza - Lassa fever - Meningococcal disease - Plague - Rift Valley fever - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) - Smallpox - Tularaemia - Yellow fever
