All rights reserved. Malaria is a serious emergency. If you are in, or returned from, a malaria risk area and have flu-like symptoms , seek medical care immediately. Make sure to tell your doctor you were in an area with malaria so they can consider it as a diagnosis. If malaria is left untreated or treatment is delayed, it can lead to severe complications including death.
Some adults who have lived in malaria-endemic regions throughout their lives develop partial immunity, but only for a short time. In fact, travellers with the highest risk of malaria infection are those who no longer live in a malaria-endemic country but return to a malarious region to visit their friends or family.
Their immunity wanes while living in a malaria-free country because they are no longer exposed to malaria parasites. However, when travelling to a malarious area, they face the same level of risk as travellers who have never been exposed. Previous malaria infection does not confer immunity so if you travel again to an area with malaria, preventive measures are necessary. Photo by Alexander Wild. Used under license.
