What are the chances of getting bit by a mosquito and getting malaria in canada?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nil: I'm pretty sure malaria is absent in Canada. In some areas in the east (maybe elsewhere) there are species of mosquito that could carry and transmit malaria if the parasite were ever reintroduced. But for now, probably no chance at all of malaria. Contact your provincial health department for a definitive reply, if you remain concerned, or if you have reason to suspect malaria.
