In comparison, the latest data shows that 258 cases of Shigellosis cases have been reported so far. The disease is still very much affecting only a tiny fraction of guests who arrive in the country.<\/p> Even so, public health authorities in Cape Verde are working closely with third parties to conduct a thorough investigation of the Shigella reports. However, the Cape Verde Public Health <\/a>Institute<\/a><\/strong> (INSP) has stated that outbreaks of diarrhoea-related diseases have been investigated since September 2022, with no increase in cases over previous years.<\/p> Travellers to the country are advised to stick to good hygiene practices, washing hands regularly. Avoiding eating raw foods where possible is also advised.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t A comprehensive investigation has been conducted by the ECDC on Sal Island, checking for cases of Shigella infections.

At its root, the disease has been linked to poor sanitation and hygiene practices.<\/p> As with other diseases, Shigellosis has evolved and changed over the years, resulting in new variants with varying degrees of symptoms. The most recent outbreak has been linked to Shigella sonnei<\/em>, one of the four known species of the Shigella bacterium.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t Shigellosis is most commonly contracted through oral contact with material contaminated by human faeces. This can occur through person-to-person transmission, via contaminated food or water, or through objects that have been in contact with faeces.<\/p> It has also been linked to swallowing water that you swim or play in; however, hotels should treat their pools to combat this. {2}<\/strong><\/a><\/p> Food-related outbreaks are often caused by infected food handlers, who contaminate ready-to-eat food items like salads.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t While the disease can be contracted by anyone who comes into contact with the Shigella bacteria, there are some groups who are more at risk than others.
