Abstract

In general, advice relating to all possible PPM in travelers should be concentrated on those who are at greatest risk of bites, and thus of malaria. For those at low and intermediate risk, preference should be given to convenient measures with proven effectiveness, such as using air-conditioned rooms and appropriate clothing.
