The 2014 FIFA World Cup: Communicable disease risks and advice for visitors to Brazil – A review from the Latin American Society for Travel Medicine (SLAMVI)
Summary: The next FIFA World Cup will be held in Brazil in June–July 2014. Around 600,000 international visitors and participants (as well over 3 million domestic travelers) are expected.

In anticipation of increased travel, a panel of experts...

Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices of US Practitioners Who Provide Pre‐Travel Advice
ConclusionsMany PCP survey participants provided pre‐travel advice, but most saw few travelers. Volume of travelers and holding an ASTMH or ISTM certificate had the greatest influence on knowledge of travel medicine and provision of appropriate advice and recommendations. Creating easily accessible travel medicine education programs for US providers from a wide range of disciplines is needed to improve the management of travelers.

Sun and skin – Is travel health advice needed?
I would like to comment on the topic of “sun and skin” in the context of travel medicine Western images portray people with a tanned skin as exemplifying good health, when in fact, the reverse is the truth. Tanned skin has been damaged in the body's effort to protect against the suns' ultra-violet (UV) rays. Holiday brochures and travel magazines showcase images of travellers with bronzed skin as a feature of their adventures and a transient souvenir to take home. Travel health professionals have a role to play in the prevention of harm to travellers by carrying out risk assessments prior to travel. It is within these...

Abstract
A travel medicine clinic is the proper medical centre aimed to provide updated recommendations before any journey. The study aim was to assess the number of accesses during 2016 at the Travel Medicine Clinic of the Local Health Unit in the Umbria Region. An electronic ad hoc database was developed.

Phase 3 trial with the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine shows protection against clinical and severe malaria in infants and children in Africa
Commentary on: RTS,S Clinical Trials Partnership. Efficacy and safety of the RTS,S/AS01 malaria vaccine during 18 months after vaccination: a phase 3 randomized, controlled trial in children and young infants at 11 African sites. PLoS Med 2014;11:e1001685. Context There is currently no licensed malaria vaccine. Protection against malaria is dependent on use of insecticide-treated nets, other vector control measures and drug treatment. These have reduced the burden of disease over the past decade, but it remains unacceptably high.1 Malaria transmission is heterogeneous and there are particular challenges presented by h...
