Countries such as Sweden that have a low prevalence of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) offer the opportunity to discern and study transmission of imported cases of MRSA. We analyzed 444 imported cases of MRSA acquisition reported in Sweden during 2000-2003. Risk for MRSA in returning travelers ranged from 0.1 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.01-0.4) per 1 million travelers to ...

We propose a new service model that incorporates input from locals to provide instant travel assistance. No matter how well travelers plan, circumstances at their destination invariably force them to modify their plans, especially towards the end of a tour. However, it is difficult for travelers to get useful information or support. Accordingly, we propose a service model whereby on-site travel...

This paper presents results from a study about the Internet as an information source for travel planning based on interviews with travelers in 13 countries in 2005. In 1997, a similar large scale survey was carried out in 15 European countries. The study shows a dramatic but well known change in information sources used by travelers since 1997. The Internet has become the most preferred informa...

Longitudinal data examining travel-associated illness patterns are lacking. To address this need and determine trends and clusters in travel-related illness, we examined data for 2000-2010, prospectively collected for 42,223 ill travelers by 18 GeoSentinel sites. The most common destinations from which ill travelers returned were sub-Saharan Africa (26%), Southeast Asia (17%), south-central Asi...

METHODS Retrospective study of a cohort of immigrants and travelers diagnosed with one of the 13 core N...

The post disaster travel behavior of travelers from these two countries is analyzed to reveal the circumstances under which travelers would go to Japan despite the eart...
