The graph includes the number of cases at EU/EEA level, by month, over the past five years, with:

• The number of cases by month over the 5-year period (grey solid line)

• The 12-month moving average of the number of cases by month (green solid line)

(see ECDC reports https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/annual-epidemiological-reports)

Usage

getTrend(
  x = EpiReport::DENGUE2019,
  disease = "DENGUE",
  year = 2019,
  reportParameters = EpiReport::AERparams,
  MSCode = EpiReport::MSCode,
  index = 1,
  doc
)
