Links and Resources

Many travelers may wish to look up their risk of diseases by country themselves and this is now made easy by some very good websites.

• Centre for Disease Control (CDC) http://www.cdc.gov/travel/outbreaks.htm
• World Health organization (WHO) www.who.int
• Trav Med www.travmed.com

These are very good places to start as they contain very detailed and frequently updated information and are often quoted as the source of other recommendations. They are the most likely places to find news of new outbreaks and news bulletins.
