In the last decades, there has been a significant increase in international human mobility with increase in the prosperity, travel possibilities, and number of refugees. In the first half of 2016, the Asian continent showed the fastest growth in the number of tourists. Such increase is seen due to the interest in Asian history, culture, and cuisine. In the globalizing world, human mobility causes changes in the epidemiology of diseases and the spread of various infections across continents. Parasitic infections that may pose a risk for travellers to the Asia-Pacific are malaria, leishmaniasis, filariasis, foodborne trematode infections, schistosomiasis, soil-transmitted infections, and tourist diarrhea. Consulting a travel medical expert and using health services such as pre-travel vaccination and chemoprophylaxis will reduce the risk of infectious diseases among travelers.
在过去几十年中，随着繁荣程度的提高、旅行可能性的增加以及难民数量的增多，国际人口流动显著增加。2016年上半年，亚洲大陆的游客数量增长最为迅速。这种增长归因于人们对亚洲历史、文化和美食的兴趣。在全球化的世界中，人口流动导致疾病流行病学发生变化，并使各种感染在各大洲传播。对前往亚太地区的旅行者可能构成风险的寄生虫感染包括疟疾、利什曼病、丝虫病、食源性吸虫感染、血吸虫病、土壤传播的感染以及旅行者腹泻。咨询旅行医学专家并使用诸如旅行前疫苗接种和化学预防等健康服务将降低旅行者感染传染病的风险。
