ASSESSED: MADAGASCAR’S DEADLIEST CREATURE
Risk is inevitable when it comes to travel, as we are constantly exposed to danger, from the minute we leave our home country, through transport, crime, or social/political factors. However, in Madagascar, one area less focused on when it comes to risk, is the presence of animals. You may be thinking lions, sharks, or poisonous spiders, however the deadliest animal in Madagascar is actually the mosquito. This risk of Malaria is “present throughout the country at all altitudes, including urban areas”. Malaria can be a fatal if not treated, and is caused by a parasite spread through female mosquitoes. According to a 2018 World Report published by the WHO, there were around 800,000 confirmed cases. According to WHO data published in 2017, malaria deaths in Madagascar reached 7412, accounting for 5.25% of deaths.
To minimise this risk, it is important for travellers to take certain safety precautions if they are intending to visit Madagascar (e.g getting the appropriate vaccine before departing). Recently returned travellers should be aware of the symptoms of Malaria (sweating, chills, fever), as they only develop a few weeks after being bitten. If these symptoms do arise, travellers should immediately see a medical professional, as malaria requires a diagnosis with specialised drugs.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to completely eradicate Malaria, as it is quite difficult to monitor which mosquitoes have the parasite. However, shown below are a few strategies to prevent this risk eventuating.
Be Aware: Know the facts and information about Malaria (e.g mosquitoes more common in low altitude areas, and also know possible symptoms.
Plan Ahead: Ensure that you talk to your doctor prior to departing your home country. There is a possibility that you may need to get a vaccination/take prescription medicine.
Be Safe: Whilst in Madagascar, make sure to use insect repellent and use a mosquito net to avoid getting bitten. If symptoms occur whilst travelling it is advised, to go see a medical professional immediately.
