Given travellers' well-defined temporal windows of potential exposure, improved recollections of risk behaviors, and access to well-resourced travel clinic laboratories, travel health data are uniquely positioned to provide insights into the pathogenesis of emergent infectious diseases. While travel health data has the opportunity to build on this foundation and provide novel insights about emerging infectious agents, the fastest progress will be made through meaningful bi-directional international partnerships built on respectful collaboration, commitments to capacity building, and cooperative efforts to bolster surveillance.
