Prevention of malaria morbidity relies on the use of personal protection from mosquito bites, appropriate chemoprophylactic drugs, and early investigation of symptoms in returning travellers. Malaria chemoprophylaxis must be tailored to the individual patient's travel and personal needs, and no chemoprophylaxis is completely effective. Chloroquine alone is adequate for those areas with P vivax, or sensitive P falciparum but in most circumstances the choice will be between mefloquine and doxycycline. The specific area visited, the time spent there and the individual's medical history will help determine the final choice.
疟疾发病的预防依赖于采取个人防蚊叮咬措施、使用适当的化学预防药物以及对归国旅行者的症状进行早期检查。疟疾化学预防必须根据个体患者的旅行情况和个人需求进行调整，而且没有哪种化学预防方法是完全有效的。对于间日疟原虫流行地区或对氯喹敏感的恶性疟原虫流行地区，单独使用氯喹就足够了，但在大多数情况下，选择将在甲氟喹和强力霉素之间进行。所访问的具体地区、在该地停留的时间以及个人病史将有助于确定最终选择。
