Abstract

was identified in 176 returned travellers from the Riviera Maya region of Mexico between 1 June and 22 September 2015; 79 in the United Kingdom (UK) and 97 in Canada. UK cases completed a food exposure questionnaire. This increase in reported cases highlights risks of gastrointestinal infections through travelling, limitations in surveillance and the need for improved hygiene in the production of food consumed in holiday resorts.
