Unlabelled: Objectives and importance of study: Australian children frequently travel overseas, but little is known about their travel-related morbidity. We aimed to describe the spectrum of illness and injury in returned travellers presenting to the largest paediatric referral centre in NSW, the Children's Hospital at Westmead (CHW).

As the frequency of international travel increases, more individuals are at risk of travel-acquired infections (TAIs). In this ecological study of over 170,000 unique tests from Public Health Ontario's laboratory, we reviewed all laboratory-reported cases of malaria, dengue, chikungunya, and enteric fever in Ontario, Canada between 2008-2020 to identify high-resolution geographical clusters for potential targeted pre-travel prevention. Smoothed standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and 95% posterior credible intervals (CIs) were estimated using a spatial Bayesian hierarchical model.

Background: Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) typhoid fever is a threat to travelers to Pakistan. We describe a multicontinental case series of travel-acquired XDR typhoid fever to demonstrate the global spread of the problem and encourage preventive interventions as well as appropriate empiric antimicrobial use.
Methods: Cases were extracted from the GeoSentinel database, microbiologic laboratory records of two large hospitals in Toronto, Canada, and by invitation to TropNet sites.

Background: Important gaps remain in our knowledge of the infectious diseases people acquire while travelling and the impact of pathogens imported by Canadian travellers.
Objective: To provide a surveillance update of illness in a cohort of returned Canadian travellers and new immigrants.
Methods: Data on returning Canadian travellers and new immigrants presenting to a CanTravNet site between September 2011 and September 2012 were extracted and analyzed by destination, presenting symptoms, common and emerging infectious diseases and disease severity.
