The results showed that averagely both the standardized (0.16/yr) and relative (0.0003/yr) death rates of infectious and parasite diseases in recorded European countries increased significantly during the recorded period 1994-2013. Luxembourg (1.11/yr) has the greatest annual growth in standardised death rate of infectious and parasite diseases, followed by Czech (0.82/yr), Sweden (0.75/yr), and Norway (0.72/yr). Luxembourg (0.0013/yr) has the greatest annual growth of relative death rate of infectious and parasite diseases vs. total diseases, followed by Sweden (0.0009/yr), and Norway (0.0009/yr), etc. During the period 1994-2013, Portugal (23.49) and Belgium (23.32) are the two countries with the greatest average of standarised death rates of infectious and parasite diseases in recorded European countries, while Slovakia (6.63) and Austria (6.75) are the smallest. According to above analysis of available data so far, infectious and parasite diseases are expected to be even more prevalent in the future, and more attention should be focused on these diseases in management of public health.
