Article Synopsis
- International travel increases exposure to different bacteria, raising the risk of acquiring antibiotic-resistant infections for travelers and enabling the spread of these bacteria globally.
- Travelers are especially vulnerable to multidrug-resistant Enterobacterales, particularly when visiting South Asia, often due to factors like diarrhea and antibiotic use.
- Serious infections such as shigellosis, typhoid fever, and skin infections from MRSA show the urgent need for pre-travel consultations to help minimize the risk of antibiotic resistance acquisition.
Article Synopsis
- In European France, malaria cases are primarily travel-related, but locally acquired cases are monitored to assess the risk of re-emergence.
- A study analyzed malaria cases from 1995 to 2022, identifying transmission modes and species involved, which mostly occurred in the Île-de-France region.
- The findings revealed 117 local cases, predominantly classified as Odyssean malaria, with a need for increased vigilance due to potential re-emergence linked to climate change and local mosquito populations.

Zika virus infection, most oft n responsible for a benign arboviral disease or an asymptomatic infection, rarely Guillain-Barré syndrome, can become problematic in pregnant women, due to a risk of fetal malformations, in particular microcephaly linked to its neurotropism. The most recent large-scale epidemic was observed throughout Latin America between 2015 and 2017, causing several hundred thousand cases. Transmission is predominantly vector-borne, but sexual transmission has been described, mainly among travelers, although it undoubtedly accounts for a significant proportion of transmission in epidemic areas.
