- Abstract
- Along with increases in international travel come increased opportunities for importation of infectious disease to the United States (U.S.). Many infectious diseases can lead to severe negative health outcomes for those infected, including disability and death, as seen recently through the importation of Ebola from West Africa and Zika from South America. Additionally, disease importation is a key contributing factor to the potential threat of emerging pathogens, such as novel strains of influenza, and the reemergence of vaccine-preventable diseases, such as measles. In the U.S., most of the recent measles outbreaks originated from international travel, where the disease was brought into the U.S. by unvaccinated persons who were infected in other countries.
