Roma continue to have a higher prevalence of communicable diseases and are at higher risk of infection than the majority populations of the countries they live in. In 2005, nine Central and Southern EU countries-Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, North Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Montenegro and Slovakia-along with several international organisations, launched the Decade of Roma Inclusion 2005-2015, committing to allocate resources with the aim of integration and ending discrimination and poverty of Roma communities. The prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in the HepaMeta population in eastern Slovakia was 7.2 per cent among the Roma (n = 208) compared to 5.3 per cent among non-Roma (n = 132). Roma in Eastern and Central Europe continue to have a higher prevalence of communicable diseases than the majority populations of the countries they live in.	./cache/cord-013420-0nmil3yt.txt	./txt/cord-013420-0nmil3yt.txt
