The investigators hypothesize that sex, age, area of exposure and purpose of travel are associated with different travel-related infections. The investigators also hypothesize that certain infections will have long-term sequelae. Health-data will be collected from travellers from Switzerland and Europe. The project starts with a pilot study for 50 travellers, followed by the recruiting of 10,000 travellers. The data collection will be via a mobile App (ITIT). The ITIT App will collect active data from travellers. The participants will download the App after signing an electronic consent form and completing a baseline questionnaire. Then the travellers will answer a short daily questionnaire about illness symptoms during travel. The ITIT App will also collect passive data (GPS localisation, environmental and weather data). The project will provide real-time data on travel-related infections and profile travel illness by age, sex and purpose of travel and also identify outbreaks.
