The virus is acquired directly from infected persons by the faecal–oral route or by close contact, or by consumption of contaminated food or
drinking-water. There is no insect vector or animal reservoir (although some non-human primates are sometimes infected).Travellers who are non-immune to hepatitis A (i.e. have never had the disease and have
not been vaccinated) should take particular care to avoid potentially contaminated food and water. |

 Hepatitis B is one of the major diseases of mankind and is a serious global public health problem. It is preventable with safe and effective vaccines that
have been available since 1982. Of the 2 billion people who have been infected with the hepatitis B virus (HBV), more than 350 million have chronic (lifelong)
infections. These chronically infected persons are at high risk of death from cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer, diseases that kill about one million persons each year. |

W.H.O. China Travel Advisory - Hepatitis C |
|
VIEW
Full document |
Hepatitis C is a viral infection of the liver which had been referred to as parenterally1 transmitted "non A, non B hepatitis" until identification of the
causative agent in 1989. The discovery and characterization of the hepatitis C virus (HCV) led to the understanding of its primary role in post-transfusion
hepatitis and its tendency to induce persistent infection. |

action of a potent neurotoxin produced by the bacterium in dead tissue (e.g. dirty wounds). |

sewage-polluted beds are an important source of infection. Infection occurs through eating fruit and vegetables fertilized by night soil and eaten raw, and milk and
milk products that have been contaminated by those in contact with them |

Full document |
Rabies is a zoonotic disease affecting a wide range of domestic and wild animals, including bats. Infection of humans usually occurs through the bite of an
infected animal. The virus is present in the saliva. Any other contact involving penetration of the skin occurring in an area where rabies is present should be treated with caution. In developing countries
transmission is usually from dogs. |
