8. Myanmar (Burma)

Low-lying rural areas of Myanmar are at high risk for malaria. Travelers are urged to be prepared ahead of time by getting medication and taking it during the trip. Some drugs have been proven to resist certain strains of malaria. There is broad resistance to chloroquine and in a few areas, mefloquine helps people resist the disease. Particularly in the provinces of Bago, Kachin, Kayah, Shan, and Tanintharyi atovaquone-proguanil or doxycycline are recommended.
