HOW Are Travel-related Infections Spread?
Labels Travel-related infection
Some travel-related infections are spread through the bites of insects,
such as mosquitoes, which carry malaria and yellow fever, or flies, for
example, the tsetse (SET-see) fly, which can carry trypanosomiasis (trihpan-
o-so-MY-uh-sis). Other diseases, including schistosomiasis (shis-tuhso-
MY-uh-sis), can be contracted from swimming, wading, or bathing
in contaminated water. Eating or drinking contaminated food or water
is another common way of contracting disease, especially traveler’s
diarrhea.
