Malaria continues to be a major international public health problem but many Australians who travel overseas are ill-informed of the risk of infection and have inadequate protection against this potentially fatal disease. Management is complicated by the resurgence of malaria in areas that have previously had satisfactory control programmes, and the emergence of resistance to chloroquine and other drugs. This article focuses on prevention of malaria in travellers. The more important issue of malaria control for populations residing in endemic areas is beyond the scope of this review.
疟疾仍然是一个重大的国际公共卫生问题，但许多出国旅行的澳大利亚人对感染风险了解不足，且对这种潜在致命疾病缺乏足够的防护措施。以前实施过令人满意的控制项目的地区疟疾再度流行，以及对氯喹和其他药物出现耐药性，使得疟疾的防治变得复杂。本文重点关注旅行者疟疾的预防。对于疟疾流行地区居民的疟疾控制这一更为重要的问题不在本综述范围内。
