Persons of all ages are at risk for infection. Young children under 12 years of age tend to exhibit symptoms more frequently due to their immature immune systems. The immuno-compromised and the elderly may exhibit more severe symptoms, while travelers touring in developing countries can be at higher risk of infection. The risk tends to vary with the season, and moderate and rainy climates are the most conducive to infection spread.
