This paper presents an open-access repository collecting information on measles virus infections and flight passenger movements in European countries from 2011 to 2023. It provides a comprehensive overview of reported measles cases and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination coverage from authoritative organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). In addition, the dataset includes detailed data on passenger movements between countries, facilitating analysis of cross-border disease transmission. This resource enables more precise spatial analyses for monitoring and forecasting measles outbreaks, underscoring the importance of adequate vaccination coverage and sustained international surveillance to prevent the spread of the disease.
本文介绍了一个开放获取的数据库，该数据库收集了2011年至2023年欧洲国家麻疹病毒感染和航空旅客流动的信息。它全面概述了世界卫生组织（WHO）和欧洲疾病预防控制中心（ECDC）等权威组织报告的麻疹病例和麻疹-腮腺炎-风疹（MMR）疫苗接种覆盖率。此外，该数据集还包括各国之间旅客流动的详细数据，便于分析跨境疾病传播。该资源能够进行更精确的空间分析，以监测和预测麻疹疫情，凸显了足够的疫苗接种覆盖率和持续的国际监测对于预防疾病传播的重要性。
