About this trial

Traveling to emerging countries is associated with a significant risk of encountering health issues specific to the destination, such as gastrointestinal and respiratory infections, malaria episodes, and road traffic accidents.These conditions are associated with behavioral, geographical, or environmental risk factors. A better understanding of these factors will enable the development of targeted recommendations to minimize travel related health issues.

The main objective of this study is to determine the incidence of pathologies occurring during travel outside the metropolitan territory.
