The incidence of malaria in travellers to South-East Asia: is local malaria transmission a useful risk indicator?
The presence of ongoing local malaria transmission, identified though local surveillance and reported to regional WHO offices, by S-E Asian countries, forms the basis of national and international chemoprophylaxis recommendations in western countries. The study was designed to examine whether the st...
