But what do all those colours and codes actually tell you? And more importantly, how do you use such a map to determine whether you need malaria pills or whether good mosquito control is enough? In this blog, we explain step by step how to read and interpret the malaria map. This will help you better assess your risk and which protective measures are appropriate for your specific trip. Because not every trip to an \u2018orange\u2019 area requires the same approach.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do we work with a malaria map?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/vaccinations\/malaria\/\">Malaria <\/a>does not occur everywhere in the world, and even within countries with malaria, the risk varies enormously by region, season and environment. A <a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/malariakaarten\/\">malaria map <\/a>gives you at-a-glance insight into:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where malaria occurs <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How high the risk is <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whether resistance to certain drugs occurs <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Which malaria species (Plasmodium) is dominant<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This will allow you to make the right choices based on your destination, length of stay and travel season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The colour codes on the malaria map<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Green or white - No malaria<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaria does not occur (anymore) <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>No protection needed <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples: <a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/vaccinations-europe\/\">Europe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/vaccinations-north-america\/\">North America<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/vaccinations-australia\/\">Australia<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Yellow - Very low risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaria occurs sporadically <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risk especially in remote areas or specific seasons <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mosquito control is usually sufficient <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples: some parts of <a href=\"https:\/\/vaccinatiepunt.nl\/en\/vaccinations-india\/?referrer=adwords&amp;gad_source=1&amp;gad_campaignid=23538627496&amp;gbraid=0AAAAAD7ll0lFzcbwu3UbvYSqxqMtpnwa8&amp;gclid=CjwKCAiAv5bMBhAIEiwAqP9GuK_72bl1Hw7ZVcAN93mcMmTmo4zDzN5IrewFRbanVt5MREy-d_kVJRoClsAQAvD_BwE\">India<\/a>, certain coastal areas<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Orange - Moderate risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaria occurs regularly <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Depending on your travel profile, prophylaxis may be needed <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good consultation with travel consultant essential <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples: parts of Southeast Asia, certain areas of East Africa<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Red - High risk<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Malaria is common <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Malaria pills strongly recommended or mandatory <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good mosquito control remains essential <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Examples: large parts of sub-Saharan Africa, Amazon region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Note:<\/strong> These are general guidelines.

Always check the date on the map and use recent sources.<br><br><strong>Can risk vary widely within a country?<\/strong><br>Absolutely. For example, Thailand: Bangkok has no malaria, but jungle areas in the north do. Therefore, always look at regional level, not just countrywide.<br><br><strong>Do malaria pills protect for 100%?<\/strong><br>No, malaria prophylaxis reduces the risk by 85-95%, but does not provide an absolute guarantee. Therefore, mosquito control always remains necessary, even with pills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Je hebt vast wel eens van de malariakaart gehoord als je een verre reis plant.
