Abstract
Each year increasing numbers of Americans travel to countries where the risk of acquiring malaria is considerable. Appropriate advice from family physicians about malaria prophylaxis is important to prevent malaria in American travelers. All travelers to malarious areas should receive chloroquine prophylaxis. Physicians should consider the diagnosis of malaria when fever develops in travelers returning from malarious areas.
