Abstract	Reizen naar ontwikkelingslanden brengt gezondheidsrisico’s met zich mee. Het meeste last hebben reizigers die al een ziekte onder de leden hebben. Om gezondheidsrisico’s van verre reizen te beperken en ziektes zo goed mogelijk te behandelen, is gefundeerde informatie onontbeerlijk. Helaas blijken oorspronkelijke studies naar reisgerelateerde gezondheidsproblemen volgens Gijs Baaten relatief schaars.
