Malaria in Pregnancy info

Most African countries now have drug-resistant strains of malaria. In South Africa, these drug resistant strains are found in parts of Limpopo and Mpumalanga.

Do not take children under the age of 5 into malaria-areas. Pregnant women are also at increased risk of contracting malaria, because they have a higher body temperature and produce more carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
