It describes symptoms such as fever, chills, and anemia, explains diagnostic methods like parasite detection in blood smears, and discusses treatment opt...ions including artemisinin-based combination therapies. In addition, it outlines prevention strategies such as medical prophylaxis and mosquito control measures. The article is intended for medical professionals and offers detailed information on the pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and management of malaria.

Diagnosis is with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), or electron microscopy. Treatment is supportive. Strict isolation and quarantine measures are necessary to ...contain outbreaks.

Infection is transmitted to humans when bitten by Triatominae (reduviid, kissing, or assassin) bugs in South and Central America, Mexico, and very rarely in the US. Less commonly, T. cruzi is transmitted via ingestion of sugar cane juice or food contami...nated with infected Triatominae bugs or their feces, transplacentally from an infected mother to her fetus, or via blood transfusion or an organ transplant from an infected donor.

Dengue fever usually results in abrupt onset of high fever, headache, myalgias, arthralgias, and generalized lymphadenopathy, followed by a rash that appears with a recurrent fever after an afebrile period. Respiratory symptoms, such as coug...h, sore throat, and rhinorrhea, can occur.

The medications listed are atovaquone/proguanil, chloroquine, doxycycline, hydroxychloroquine, mefloquine, primaquine and tafenoquine. The guidance covers the use o...f these drugs for primary and terminal prophylaxis, as well as contraindications (e.g. G6PD deficiency, pregnancy, and psychiatric or cardiac conditions) and safety precautions for children and special populations. The aim is to help travellers and healthcare providers reduce the risk of malaria during travel.
