How travel-related illnesses spread, what to watch for, and how to prevent and treat them.
Mosquito-borne parasitic infection
Malaria is a serious, sometimes fatal disease spread by night-biting Anopheles mosquitoes. There's no vaccine for travelers, but prophylactic medication plus bite prevention are highly effective. Symptoms (fever, chills, flu-like illness) can appear weeks to months after travel.
Read guideMosquito-borne viral infection
Dengue is a viral infection spread by day-biting Aedes mosquitoes, common in tropical and subtropical cities. There's no specific treatment and no prophylactic drug, so bite prevention is the main defense. Most cases resolve in about a week, but severe dengue is a medical emergency.
Read guideViral infection (animal-transmitted)
Rabies is a virus transmitted through the bite or scratch of an infected animal — usually dogs. It is almost always fatal once symptoms begin, but entirely preventable with prompt post-exposure treatment. Wash any bite immediately and seek medical care the same day.
