The Department gives advice about the precautions that should be taken when travellers from the United Kingdom are travelling to endemic areas in the Department's free booklet, "Health Advice for Travellers", which is updated as necessary on Prestel. Guidance on appropriate prophylaxis against malaria for specific parts of the world is available to doctors and practice nurses from the Public Health Laboratory Service malaria reference laboratory, which also has a helpline for travellers.
