Information for travellers

Travellers from industrialised countries in particular should protect themselves from Malaria because their organisms have not developed the appropriate immune defences. Some of the most important measures for protecting oneself against mosquitoes are:

• Use of bed nets
• Wearing long-sleeved clothing and pants
  
• Use of mosquito repellents
• Depending on the destination and time of year, prophylactic medication prescribed by a doctor may be recommended.
