Preventing malaria in international travellers: an evaluation of published English-language guidelines

This study appraises international and national guidelines for malaria prevention in travellers and whether any recommendations conflict

Abstract

People intending to travel may seek information on malaria prevention from a range of sources. To ensure the best protection, this information needs to be reliable, up-to-date, consistent, and useful to their decision making. This study appraises current international and national guidelines written in English for malaria prevention in travellers, and whether any recommendations conflict.

This research is funded under the Department for International Development’s Evidence Building and Synthesis Research Programme which is led by Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine
