Advances in Travel Medicine - Emerging Infectious Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Infectious diseases in travel medicine represent an infectious pathology in full expansion.

The recent epidemic outbreaks of Zyka, Ebola, Dengue diseases as well as SARS CoV 2 pandemic that we are experiencing today, this are evocative examples of diseases in travel medicine which any time can turn into diseases with world-wide transmission.

In this context, travel medicine acquires a very important role in infectious pathology, in order to prevent the bacterial, parasitic, fungal and viral diseases characteristic of tropical areas in travelers and to prevent the spread of these types of diseases with potential for emergence in non-endemic areas.

In this issue we want to focus on 4 important aspects, namely:

• Epidemiological aspects of zoonoses that can evolve with human-to-human transmission: arboviruses, hemorrhagic fevers, infections caused by coronaviruses. The importance of international medical networks in the surveillance and communication of possible epidemic outbreaks related to travel.
• New resources of prophylaxis adapted to the rising antibiotic resistance and modern traveler.
• Diagnosis of tropical diseases in non-endemic areas: clinical and laboratory key points; new methods of laboratory diagnostic.
• First-line treatment under current conditions of antibiotic resistance in "classic tropical" diseases, such as malaria, amoebiasis, leismaniasis, typhoid fever, cholera, etc. Monitoring the etiological therapy and adapting according to the patient's profile.
