• Description:
  Many people acquire malaria, a potentially life-threatening
  
  disease, during travel to tropical and subtropical
  
  countries. Malaria occurs in most of sub-Saharan Africa,
  
  southern and southeast Asia, Mexico, Haiti, the Domhican
  
  Republic, Central and South America, Papua New
  
  Guinea, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. Major cities
  
  in Asia and South America are nearly malaria free; cities
  
  in Africa, India, and Pakistan are not. There is generally
  
  less risk of malaria at altitudes above 1500 meters (4500
  
  feet).
