The deaths of British tourists within months of contracting stomach bugs on Cape Verde has raised questions about the safety of visiting the island.
Mark Ashley, 55, of Bedfordshire, Elena Walsh, 64, from Birmingham, Karen Pooley, 64, of Gloucestershire, and a 56-year-old man from Watford all died last year after contracting gastric illnesses while on the islands off the west African coast.
They are four of six Britons who have died after holidays there since January 2023.
With lawyers claiming more than 1,500 people have reported falling ill after visiting the country, we asked experts what travellers could do to minimise the risk of infection.
