Curious as to why can't treatment with drugs stop people from being infected with malaria?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can!: There are numerous drugs available to help prevent malaria when one is traveling to endemic areas. The drugs recommended vary from location to location. The cdc website has a good section for the traveling public on this. As an aside - and possibly for future reference if it actually works - a malaria vaccine is under development, and initial studies are promising.
