Malaria is the third most common ailment affecting the health of travelers to the tropics.
Only cases of diarrhea and acute respiratory infections are more numerous. Because of its potential for high and rapid mortality, falcipurum maleria is the most dangerous. Therefore, malaria prevention should not be ignored. Once symptoms appear, it may be too late to find a doctor who could diagnose and treat in time. For all practical purposes and with few exceptions, malaria occurs in the regions of the world between the 30th parallels north and south of the Equator.
