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).
