Description

Chiara Romano, Francesco Branda, Fabio Scarpa, Giovanna Jona Lasinio, and Massimo Ciccozzi present an open data set that pairs measles cases with flight traffic in Europe. Their 2024 resource covers the years 2011 to 2023. It draws case counts and vaccine coverage from world and European health bodies.

Flight passenger flows between countries sit beside the health data in one place. That pairing lets analysts trace how travel may seed outbreaks across borders. Finer spatial work on watch and forecast tasks becomes possible. The authors stress that strong vaccine coverage and steady joint surveillance remain the core guards against spread. The set is offered for public reuse.
