Abstract
Specific data on the epidemiology of the risks associated with travel are increasingly available. Travel medicine emphasizes a multidiscipli nary approach to the prevention and treatment of travelers' illnesses. Developments in three mainstay areas of travel medicine, namely malar ia chemoprophylaxis, traveler's diarrhea, and vaccine administration, are reviewed. Significant new data on post-travel screening and on tra vel-acquired helminth infection are discussed.
