Abstract
Insects can be found in any areas in the world, so that it will be practically impossible to avoid them in a journey. They are the cause of many different pathologies, minor at large, but potentially severe sometimes, because a large number of them are part of epidemiological cycles, and are likely to transmit different pathogenic agents. A journey, especially in tropical areas, will have to be prepared so as to clarify the measures vital to take (vaccines, precautions of hygiene, protection equipment, preventive medicines…). Nowadays it represents a serious problem, considering the constant increase in world-wide tourism and trades.
