This systematic review synthesizes data on the pathogens associated with TD in Thailand, providing valuable insights into pathogen diversity and distribution, traveler profiles, and geographical regions of concern.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022346014).

The search included terms related to \u201cdiarrhea,\u201d \u201ctravelers,\u201d and \u201cThailand,\u201d without restrictions on publication date. Eligible studies focused on travelers to Thailand who developed diarrhea with identified specific pathogens. Data was extracted and synthesized using a narrative approach.

Viral pathogens such as rotavirus and norovirus were also notable, with <jats:italic>Giardia<\/jats:italic> spp. being the most identified parasite.
