Epidemics & public health · Peste · Reemergencia · Regulación sanitaria · Surveillance
In 1994, an outbreak reported as plague in India, including Surat, prompted an international response and highlighted difficulties of diagnosis, notification, and travel and trade measures. Findings about confirmation varied among reports; in 1995, the World Health Assembly called for a substantial revision of the limited-scope 1969 International Health Regulations.
