Malaria is today one of the main health emergencies on the planet.
In addition to being endemic in many areas of Asia, Africa, South and Central America, Caribbean islands and Oceania, malaria is increasingly being imported even in areas where it has already been eliminated, such as in Europe and the USA. This is possible due to the increase in international travel and the presence of migratory flows from countries where the disease is endemic.
The risk of contracting malaria can be minimized by resorting to a careful combination of behavioral and chemoprophylactic measures.
