1976年11月在华盛顿举行的旅行者腹泻会议是一个国际医学科学家小组的第一次会议，该小组聚集在一起的具体目的是关注旅行者腹泻的世界性问题。因此，它代表了医学科学和世界旅游史上的里程碑。其赞助者世界银行、泛美卫生组织、联合国开发计划署和康奈尔大学医学院对这一问题感兴趣，发现了一个问题，这是阻碍到发展中国家旅游的主要因素之一。虽然在一些国家的分散实验室中，正在进行的工作正在慢慢地对旅游腹泻的原因提出新的见解，但目前没有医生可以推荐给潜在旅行者预防旅行者腹泻的药物，疫苗或抗毒素。
The Conference on the Diarrhea of Travelers that took place in Washington, DC, in Novem-ber 1976 was the first meeting of an international group of medical scientists gathered for the specific purpose of focusing on the worldwide problem of travelers' diarrhea. As such it represented a landmark in the history of both medical science and world tourism. Its sponsors, the World Bank, the Pan American Health Organization, the United Nations Development Programme, and Cornell University Medical College, by their interest in this subject, have identified a problem that is one of the major factors inhibiting tour-ism travel to the developing nations. Although in scattered laboratories in a num-ber of countries, work is being done that is slowly throwing new light on the causes of tourist diar-rhea, there is at present no drug, vaccine, or anti-toxin that can be recommended by doctors to potential travelers for prevention of travelers' diarrhea.
