Travel-Related Diseases, Spring 2024

Many Maine residents travel to warmer climates with heightened risk of mosquito-borne or other types of illness particularly during colder months and especially during school and other spring vacations occurring this time of year. In 2024, the Maine Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Maine CDC) has investigated multiple cases of travel-related illness in persons who have recently traveled within or outside the United States. At the same time, many jurisdictions both within and outside the U.S. are reporting increased incidence of diseases such as hepatitis A, measles, and dengue.
