Malaria

Spread by: Insect Bites

 

Malaria is present year-round in all of Angola.

Malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes that bite from dusk to dawn. Symptoms can develop as early as six days or as late as several months after exposure. Early symptoms are usually "flu-like." Vivax malaria typically progresses to cause episodic fever and chills, while falciparum malaria can also have life-threatening complications including anemia, seizures, mental confusion, kidney failure and coma. Travelers sufferer these complications more frequently than local inhabitants.

PREVENTING MALARIA

If visiting a malarial area:

Focus on preventing mosquito bites
 
Use a medication to prevent chloroquine-resistant P. falciparum malaria (as these are not 100 percent effective, preventing mosquito bites is still very important)

Appropriate antimalarial medications include:

Atovaquone plus proguanil (Malarone®)
 
Doxycycline (many brands and generics)

Mefloquine (Lariam® and generics)
