For instance, if you’re traveling to sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, or parts of South America, malaria is a significant concern.

Understanding Malaria Risks and Prevention

Malaria is a serious disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. Most cases occur in tropical and subtropical regions. Consequently, understanding the local malaria risk is the first step in effective prevention. Our travel health advisors provide up-to-date information on malaria prevalence and recommend the most suitable preventive measures.

Key prevention strategies include:

• Mosquito Bite Prevention: Always use effective insect repellent containing DEET or picaridin. Wear long-sleeved shirts and trousers, especially during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. Use mosquito nets over your bed, preferably treated with insecticide.
• Antimalarial Medication: Depending on your destination and travel duration, antimalarial drugs may be prescribed. These medications work by preventing the malaria parasite from developing in your body. It is vital to take them exactly as prescribed by your doctor, both before, during, and after your trip.
