Malaria is one of the most prevalent infectious diseases worldwide; it is transmitted in over 100 countries, and it is a major cause of serious morbidity and mortality in travelers. Clinicians should inform travelers of their risk, teach them the principles of personal protection, and offer individualized chemoprophylaxis regimens. The increasing prevalence of multiple drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum in many parts of the world makes nonpharmacologic methods of malaria prevention important.
疟疾是全球最普遍的传染病之一；它在100多个国家传播，是旅行者严重发病和死亡的主要原因。临床医生应告知旅行者其风险，教授他们个人防护原则，并提供个体化的化学预防方案。世界许多地区多重耐药恶性疟原虫的流行率不断上升，使得疟疾预防的非药物方法变得很重要。
