Is there Malaria in United Arab Emirates (UAE)?

February 18, 2012 By Malaria Q&A Leave a Comment

QUESTION

Is the UAE malaria free?

ANSWER

Yes—the UAE is not considered a transmission area for malaria. However, other insect-borne diseases can occur in this region, such as West Nile virus, so while in the UAE it is still worth taking preventative measures against insect bites, such as wearing long-sleeved clothing and using insect repellent on exposed skin.
