Malaria

  Risk Category B

  Risk Category explanation

  A: countries where the malarial risk is present in the whole country all year or with very clear seasonal guidance.

  B: countries where only parts of the country are affected.

  C: countries where malaria is limited to discrete pockets, where the risk of infection is low, or where there are few visitors to affected areas. It is likely that tourists who visit these countries will be able to donate but individual assessment must be applied. Donors are likely to have detailed knowledge if they have visited any malarial areas. The healthcare professional should establish whether the donor sought advice prior to travel and if they were advised to take antimalarial precautions.

  Malaria occurs from May to October, mainly in the south-eastern part of the country, the Syria and Iraq borders and in the Cukurova Plain east of Adana.

  There is no malaria risk in the main tourist areas in the west and south-west of the country.

  Visitors to the popular tourist resorts served by the airports in Bodrum, Antalya and Dalaman, accept.
