In the United States, effective malaria prevention strategies for short-term travelers are available. Monitoring trends in imported malaria and continued evaluation of the effectiveness and chemoprophylaxis will allow prevention recommendations to evolve as the risk of infection and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs change. Our challenge is to increase the number of prospective travelers receiving pre-travel advice, to disseminate this information to health care providers, and to improve the quality of the advice given. The early recognition of Plasmodium infection and the institution of prompt and effective treatment will reduce morbidity and mortality from malaria in this country.
在美国，有适用于短期旅行者的有效疟疾预防策略。监测输入性疟疾的趋势并持续评估预防措施的有效性和化学预防方法，将使预防建议随着感染风险和抗疟药物有效性的变化而不断发展。我们面临的挑战是增加接受旅行前建议的潜在旅行者数量，将这些信息传播给医疗保健提供者，并提高所提供建议的质量。尽早识别疟原虫感染并及时采取有效治疗措施，将降低该国疟疾的发病率和死亡率。
