Clarification of end date for malaria risk in all areas of Aceh province, Indonesia
(following 12/26/04 tsunami): Response from CDC Malaria Branch
CreaTech submitted the following question to the CDC's Malaria Branch:
I have been trying to determine when the CDC's recommendation for malaria prophylaxis for travel to Aceh province
(following the tsunami) due to risk in all areas of the province was updated to the current recommendation that indicates risk is limited to
rural areas on Sumatra. Can anyone help me out by providing the date of this change?
The CDC's Response:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Our current malaria prophylaxis recommendations for travel to Indonesia were
updated with the release of the new Yellow Book in May 2007.
Clarification of malaria risk areas in China: Response from CDC Malaria Branch
CreaTech submitted the following question to the CDC's Malaria Branch:
The interactive map application does not reflect the boundary between Sichuan
province and Chongqing municipality (created in 1997), should it therefore be assumed that malaria
risk in Chongqing is the same as for Sichuan?
The CDC's Response:
Thank you for your inquiry.
Yes - malaria risk is the same for Chongqing as for Sichuan
province. The risk is in rural areas May-Dec.

Clarification of malaria risk areas in Botswana: Response from CDC Malaria Branch
CreaTech submitted the following question to the CDC's Malaria Branch:
It appears that the districts of Chobe and Ngamiland were merged in 2001 to form the North-West district in Botswana.
Is it reasonable to infer that malaria risk exists in the North-West district?
The CDC's Response:
Thank you for your inquiry.
The North West province of Botswana consists of Ngamiland, Okavango and Chobe; all of which are malaria-risk areas.
