Protection against Mosquitoes and Other Arthropods
Although vaccines or chemoprophylactic drugs are available against important vector-borne diseases such as yellow fever and malaria, travellers still should be advised to use repellents and other general protective measures against biting arthropods.
The effectiveness of malaria chemoprophylaxis is variable, depending on patterns of resistance and compliance with medication, and no similar preventive measures exist for other mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue. For many vector-borne diseases, no specific preventives are available.
