Abstract
This study reports 43 cases of CLM acquired mainly in Africa, Asia and the Americas but also, for the first time, CLM acquired during travel to Portugal. The data show the need for increased awareness of CLM prevention and treatment in order to optimize pre-travel advice and case management. Travelers need to understand how CLM is transmitted and the need to avoid contact with soil and sand contaminated by dogs and cats. In particular, footwear and sun chairs should be used on beaches.
