Malaria is a serious infection. It is common in tropical countries as parts of Africa, Asia and South America. Malaria is a disease caused by a parasite called Plasmodium that lives in mosquitoes. A parasite is a living thing that lives in, or on, another living organism. The plasmodium parasite is passed to humans from a mosquito bite.
There are four types of Plasmodium that cause malaria. These are called Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, Plasmodium ovale and Plasmodium malariae. Most of the cases of malaria introduced in the United Kingdom are due to Plasmodium falciparum. This type of malaria is also the most likely to result in serious illness and / or death.
Most infections occur in travelers returning to the UK (instead of visitors coming to the UK). The risk of getting malaria is greater if you do not take antimalarial drugs or do not take it correctly. Last minute vacationers and those visiting friends or relatives abroad have proven to be the least likely to take antimalarial drugs.
By 2013, 1,000 people in the UK developed malaria that had been captured abroad. Seven people died. Malaria can kill people very quickly if it is not diagnosed quickly.
The most common symptom of malaria is a high temperature (fever). Malaria can also cause muscle aches, headaches, diarrhea and cough.

Antimalarial drug (chemoprophylaxis)
Antimalarial medication helps prevent malaria. The best medication to take depends on the country you visit. This is because the type of parasite varies between different parts of the world. In addition, in some areas the parasite has become resistant to certain medications.
There is a possibility of antimalarials that you can buy in the tropics or online, being fake. Therefore, it is recommended that you get your antimalarial treatment from your doctor's surgery, a pharmacist or a travel clinic. Drugs to protect against malaria are not funded by the NHS. You will have to buy them, no matter where you get them.
The type of drug advised depends on the area you are traveling to. It will also depend on:
• Any health problems you may have.
• Any medications you are currently taking.
• The duration of your stay.
• Any problems you may have had with the antimalarial drug in the past.
The names of drugs that are frequently used are chloroquine, doxycycline, proguanil, atovaquone and mefloquine.
You should seek advice for each new trip abroad. Do not assume that the medication you took for your last trip will be recommended for your next trip, even for the same country. There is a changing pattern of resistance to some medications by parasites. Doctors, nurses, pharmacists and travel clinics are regularly updated on the best medication to take for each country.
You should take the medication exactly as advised. This usually involves starting the medication up to a week or more before going on your trip. This allows the level of medicine in your body to be effective. It also gives time to check for any side effects before you travel.
