Prevention

Malaria is spread by parasite-infected mosquitoes. If you're traveling to areas where malaria is common, here are some practical tips to stay safe::

  • Apply insect repellent: It's an effective way to keep mosquitoes at bay.
  • Dress in long sleeves and trousers: Protecting your skin can significantly reduce the risk of bites, especially during early morning and evening.
  • Use a mosquito net: Sleeping under a net is particularly advisable in regions with a high risk of malaria.
  • Stay in screened or air-conditioned accommodation: This helps keep mosquitoes out of your living space.
  • Take antimalarial medication: We can advise you on the best antimalarial medication for your trip.

  • Countries at risk

    Malaria is a concern in various parts of the world, especially in warmer regions close to the equator. It's particularly widespread in areas of Africa, Asia, and South America. High risk countries include:
