Malaria - map of Sahel

Map of Sahel with malaria prevention recommendations

This image shows a map of the Sahel countries. 

• In the light pink regions, we recommend mosquito prevention and the risk of malaria is low. 
• In the orange regions we recommend mosquito prevention for most travellers and in some specific situations also the intake of malaria tablets, the risk there is moderate.
• In the red regions, we recommend mosquito prevention and the intake of malaria tablets and the risk is high.
• In the purple regions, we recommend the same recommendations as in the red regions in the rainy season and the same recommendations as in the orange regions in the dry season.  

A detailed description of these recommendations can be found in detail in the country sheets.
