It varies: That depends on where you're going. Resistance to anti-malarial drugs varies from region to region, as does the species of malaria parasite. You should either see a travel medicine specialist, or consult with your regular doctor. Updated information is available at the cdc website: http://wwwnc.Cdc.Gov/travel/.

Malaria: Know Malaria risk before traveling. You may need anti malarial medication. Wear long pant & long- sleeved shirts wi mosquito repel-lent w 35 to 50% DEET. Reapply repellent every 4 to 6 hours. If DMP is used should be at least 40% concentra-tion. EHD at 30 to 50% concentration.
