Article Synopsis
- Formal infectious disease surveillance in Ukraine has been severely affected by Russia's invasion in 2022, hindering the ability to track epidemics effectively.
- An analysis using data from EPIWATCH showed significant increases in infections such as cholera, botulism, tuberculosis, and more during the conflict compared to before the invasion.
- Open-source data emerged as a valuable tool for tracking infectious diseases in the absence of formal surveillance, although there were still limitations in data availability and accuracy during the war.

Three-quarters of the survey respondents were teachers/teacher aides, with the remainder divided between those in other student-facing roles and office staff.
