Recent UKHSA data indicates that Travel-associated infections, including mosquito borne ones such as dengue and malaria, are approaching pre-pandemic levels. This can lead to severe illness. Travellers should consult their GP, practice nurse, pharmacist or travel clinic 4-6 weeks before traveling for individual advice, travel vaccines and malaria prevention tablets, as relevant to their destinations. Insect repellent, covering exposed skin, and sleeping under a treated bed net when there’s no air conditioning can help with protection where insects spread diseases.
