Traits and risk factors of post-disaster infectious disease outbreaks: a systematic review

Abstract Infectious disease outbreaks are increasingly recognised as events that exacerbate impacts or prolong recovery following disasters. Yet, our understanding of the frequency, geography, characteristics and risk factors of post-disaster disease outbreaks globally is lacking. This limits the ex...
