Tracking the Traveler Without a Passport: Perspective on Surveillance of Imported Disease 2014-08-25 .txt text/plain 1258 82 46 This would allow researchers and practitioners to extend prevention strategies beyond endemic regions and the individuals therein, and consider international travel behavior a significant facet of imported disease risk. 2 Travel health needs a fresh perspective and alternative concept for understanding risk and the intricate link that exists between perceptions, behavior, and the role they play in our capabilities for successful prevention and response to imported diseases. One strategy could be the use of the concept of "Cultural Embeddedness" (CE), which could aid our understanding of the relationship between travel behavior and imported disease risk. Admittedly, not every country has the capability to develop programs following broad-based recommendations for prevention and control of diseases such as dengue and chikungunya; however, collaboration between countries and organizations and the use of surveillance tools and networks, such as Health-map, Geo-Sentinel, Pro-med, and other more sophisticated aggregate surveillance systems, make it possible for not only outbreak detection but also outbreak prediction. ./cache/cord-288023-6uflg5oc.txt ./txt/cord-288023-6uflg5oc.txt
