Malaria

Areas of Mexico with Malaria: Limited to areas infrequently visited by travelers, including small foci along the Guatemala and Belize borders in the states of Chiapas, Quintana Roo, and Tabasco; rural areas in the states of Nayarit, Oaxaca, and Sinaloa; and in an area between 24°N and 28°N latitude, and 106°W and 110°W longitude, which lies in parts of Sonora, Chihuahua, and Durango. No malaria along the United States-Mexico border and in the major resorts along the Pacific and Gulf coasts.

If you will be visiting an area of Mexico with malaria, you will need to discuss with your doctor the best ways for you to avoid getting sick with malaria. Ways to prevent malaria include the following:

  • Taking a prescription antimalarial drug
  • Using insect repellent and wearing long pants and sleeves to prevent mosquito bites
  • Sleeping in air-conditioned or well-screened rooms or using bednets

Primaquine is the preferred antimalarial drug (only after G6PD testing) in Mexico. Atovaquone/proguanil, chloroquine, doxycycline, and mefloquine are alternative choices.

To find out more information on malaria throughout the world, you can use the interactive CDC malaria map. You can search or browse countries, cities, and place names for more specific malaria risk information and the recommended prevention medicines for that area.

Client Reviews

"As a corporate health nurse manager it is essential that we get our busy employees what travel vaccines they need to their destination as soon as possible.International Travel Health Consultants does that for us. If we do not have the vaccine at our site they make it easy for us to get our employees appointments. With "Corporate America" as busy as they are its good to have a place like them to get their vaccinations quickly and get them where they need to go. We get all positive feedbacks from our employee after dealing with Dr. Narula and his staff. " Ebenezer Abu - Deutsch Bank
