Zusammenfassung:Pregnant travellers are often unaware of the various infections that can be acquired during travel and that pregnant people may be at increased risk of severe disease compared to their non‐pregnant counterparts. Pregnant people often seek pre‐travel counselling from their obstetrician or primary care physicians, who may not be well versed in travel medicine. This paper aims to provide information for maternity care providers regarding important travel‐related food, water and mosquito‐borne illnesses, including their prevention and treatment methods, equipping maternity care providers to confidently counsel prospective travellers during pregnancy.
