You will face the challenge of travel medicine in the medical practice, from the point of view of international health and together with experts in the field today"

Tropical diseases are infections that mainly affect regions with a warm and humid climate, and which are often economically, socially and healthily developing. Their diagnosis once they have been imported is key to prevent their proliferation. Therefore, it is pertinent to make an assessment of the destination in order to get the necessary vaccinations, as well as a subsequent monitoring after returning to the country of origin. There are parasitic diseases, viruses and infections that are easily transmitted in climates that are not accustomed to them, whose population has not generated immunity or whose quality of life is different.

Similarly, global warming has allowed mosquitoes, ticks and other insects carrying viruses or bacteria to proliferate, adapt to different seasons and invade new territories across Europe over the last decade. Outbreaks of dengue fever have been reported in France and Croatia, malaria in Greece, West Nile fever in south-eastern Europe, and Chikungunya virus in Italy and France.

Europe’s climate is now well-suited for the transmission of Lyme disease and tick-borne encephalitis (both contracted mainly through Ixodes ricinus), with an average of 65,000 cases of Lyme disease per year in the European Union, and a 400% increase in cases of encephalitis in European endemic areas over the past 30 years (partly due to improved surveillance and diagnosis).
