Malaria
Malaria is an illness caused by a parasite, spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Mosquitoes that spread malaria can be found in tropical and subtropical regions. Not all mosquito bites will make you sick, but it is still important to take steps to protect yourself and your family while traveling to areas with malaria. Visit the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) Travelers' Health page before your trip for recommendations and information on country-specific travel. Malaria is preventable.
