MORE INFORMATION

What is malaria?

Malaria is a serious tropical disease spread by mosquitoes. If it is not diagnosed and treated promptly, it can be fatal. Symptoms typically appear 7-18 days after becoming infected but in some cases may present up to a year later or sometimes longer.

What causes malaria?

Malaria is caused by a type of parasite known as Plasmodium. This parasite is mainly spread by female Anopheles mosquitoes, which are active and bite at sunset and sunrise. When an infected mosquito bites a human, it passes the parasites into the bloodstream.

What countries put me at high risks?

Malaria is found in more than 100 countries, mainly in tropical regions of the world, including:

large areas of Africa and Asia
Central and South America
Haiti and the Dominican Republic
parts of the Middle East
some Pacific islands

It is essential to check the fit to travel website for more information before travelling.

Do I need antimalarial medicine?

It only takes one mosquito bite to be infected with Malaria so prevention is important. If you are travelling to an area of higher risk, it is usually recommended you take antimalarial tablets since they can reduce your risk of malaria by about 90%.
