| Malaria Sitiuation Distribution |
| Region |
| Recommended Prophylaxis |
| The primary recommendations for malaria prevention are oriented on experience and data from travel medicine and apply "as a general rule" for any tourist on an organized trip. The consulting physician can decide on another procedure in conjunction with an individual consultation, should the malaria risk be significantly higher or lower than on the usual tourism vacation because of traveling style, length of stay, region, season or recent events. This is why an individual consultation with the physician is strongly recommended prior to departure for a malaria risk zone. |

These monthly figures are average figures taken from one observation period. As weather conditions are subjected by a number of influences to constant fluctuation, these figures cannot be regarded as absolute, but rather should provide information leading to a relative climate estimate within any month.
