Relative distribution of reported illness presentations among ill international travellers: a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 22. [Online ahead of print]Zhao J, Lau C, … Furuya-Kanamori LJT
CONCLUSIONS: The pooled estimates describe the relative distribution of illness presentations represented in the included evidence. Subgroup-specific patterns may provide context for pre-travel counselling, post-travel assessment, diagnostic prioritisation, and syndromic surveillance but should not be interpreted as static or universally applicable proportions or as absolute risks among all travellers.

Imported chikungunya in French travelers returning from outbreak-affected regions. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 22. [Online ahead of print]Plennevaux E, de Roo A, … Jaramillo JCJT
CONCLUSIONS: Returning travelers to mainland France from regions facing a chikungunya outbreak in 2025 showed a substantial burden of infection and gave rise to local spread of disease, highlighting the importance of robust surveillance systems and timely outbreak notification.

Travel-associated Staphylococcus aureus infections: a global perspective from the GeoSentinel Surveillance Network. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 21. [Online ahead of print]Crespillo-Andújar C, Norman FF, … Huits RJT
CONCLUSIONS: Most Staphylococcus aureus infections in international travellers presented as skin and soft tissue infections and were managed in outpatient settings. Resistance or reduced susceptibility to at least one antimicrobial class was common, with one-third of isolates identified as methicillin-resistant. These findings support the importance of AST to guide management of skin and soft tissue infections in internationally mobile populations and reinforce the need for standardized definitions of travel-associated bacterial infections and continued global surveillance.

Epidemiology of MERS-CoV in Saudi Arabia, 2012-2025: a nationwide surveillance analysis. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 20. [Online ahead of print]Alshahrani AM, Okmi EA, … Alshahrani NZJT
CONCLUSIONS: MERS-CoV epidemiology in Saudi Arabia reflects persistent zoonotic spillover, episodic healthcare-associated transmission, and substantial mortality, particularly among older adults. Sustained One Health surveillance, rapid detection, and rigorous infection prevention and control remain essential.

Prolonged low-level inter-human mpox transmission in Nigeria prior to the global outbreak in 2022: a mathematical modelling study. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 19. [Online ahead of print]Bosetti P, Ogoina D, … Cauchemez SJT
CONCLUSIONS: These findings support the plausibility of prolonged, low-level mpox transmission in Nigeria prior to the recognized global outbreak.

Prevalence of respiratory viruses among pilgrims in Saudi Arabia during the Hajj 2026: a cross-sectional study. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 19. [Online ahead of print]Alshahrani NZ, Albeshry AM, … Rashid HJT
CONCLUSIONS: Respiratory virus transmission remains an important public health concern during Hajj. Strengthening pre-travel health advice, promoting influenza vaccination, and reinforcing personal preventive measures may reduce respiratory viral transmission during Hajj and other international mass gatherings.

Atovaquone-proguanil chemoprophylaxis during pregnancy: a case series and a systematic review and meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Oct 16. [Online ahead of print]Condé J, Coulm B, … Marin BJT
CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that pregnancy outcomes and MCA following AP chemoprophylaxis exposure are similar to the general population prevalences, with a low level of evidence. These data strengthen the evidence supporting a reassuring safety profile, and AP may represent a reasonable option for pregnant women requiring malaria chemoprophylaxis after risk-benefit assessment.

Hypoxic Pre-acclimatization Strategies Before Rapid Ascent for Preventing Acute Mountain Sickness: A Systematic Review and Network Meta-analysis. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Sep 29. [Online ahead of print]Chen S, Yang X, … Zhou LJT
CONCLUSIONS: Hypoxic pre-acclimatization may prevent AMS and reduce its severity after rapid ascent. Staging effects may vary by implementation altitude, and intermittent hypoxic exposure modalities showed generally consistent protective directions. The choice between IHE and staging should be guided by preparation time, individual tolerance, and risk preferences.

Developing Country Vaccination Recommendations for Travellers: The UK National Travel Health Network and Centre (NaTHNaC) Methodology for Typhoid and Hepatitis A. [Journal Article]
J Travel Med. 2026 Sep 18. [Online ahead of print]Rodriguez-Valero N, Gawthrop M, … Patel DJT
CONCLUSIONS: These revisions strengthen evidence-based travel health advice and highlight the need for continued adaptation of vaccination policies. However, limitations in surveillance and modelling data, including incomplete reporting and potential bias propagation, emphasise the need for improved global infectious disease monitoring.
