{Abstract}: Lampedusa, a picturesque Italian island in the Mediterranean, serves as a gateway for migrants from Africa and Asia to Europe. Despite populist rhetoric portraying migrants as carriers of disease, epidemiological data reveal very low levels of communicable diseases among migrants, challenging false narratives and xenophobic sentiments propagated by populist governments.
