Malaria Risk Travel Information
Risk to travellers:
Assam: High risk. If visiting Assam you will require either Lariam ( Mefloquine ), Malarone or Doxycycline.
Low risk in the southern states of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and southern Andhra Pradesh including Hyderabad and the city of Mumbai.
Low to no risk in the northern states of Rajasthan ( including Jaipur ), Uttar Pradesh ( including Agra ), Haryana, Punjab, Delhi, Uttaranchal, Himachal Predesh, Jammu and Kashmir. In these low risk areas it may not be necessary to take antimalarial medication though '' Bite avoidance '' measures should be adopted.
Most other areas including Goa, Gujarat and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are risk areas and necessitate taking Paludrine/Avloclor ( Proguanil plus Chloroquine ).
Note that proguanil is not normally available in India and so adequate supplies should be carried.
