Travel is a potent force in the emergence of virus infections. Migration of humans and animals has been the pathway for disseminating virus diseases throughout history. In recent years, dengue virus has been identified as the most important travel-related, vector-borne virus disease. Other vector-borne virus infections, such as sandfly fever, Rift Valley fever, chikungunya fever and Japanese encephalitis, have been diagnosed in travelers returning from endemic areas. Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever may not only be imported by infected live stock, but also by travelers. Of rodent-borne virus infections, Lassa fever has been diagnosed occasionally in travelers returning from endemic areas. The potential impact of imported filoviruses is currently discussed.
旅行是病毒感染出现的一股强大力量。人类和动物的迁徙一直是历史上传播病毒疾病的途径。近年来,登革病毒已被确定为与旅行相关的最重要的媒介传播病毒疾病。其他媒介传播的病毒感染,如白蛉热、裂谷热、基孔肯雅热和日本脑炎,已在从流行地区返回的旅行者中被诊断出来。克里米亚-刚果出血热不仅可能由受感染的牲畜传入,也可能由旅行者传入。在啮齿动物传播的病毒感染中,拉沙热偶尔在从流行地区返回的旅行者中被诊断出来。目前正在讨论输入性丝状病毒的潜在影响。
