Rural only, except no risk in
northern provinces bordering Mongolia and in the western provinces of Heilungkiang, Kirin,
Ningsia Hui Tibet, and Tsinghai North of latitude 33° N, transmission occurs July to
November; from latitude 33° N to 25° N, transmission occurs May to December; south of
latitude 25° N, transmission occurs year-round.
Note: Travelers visiting cities and popular rural sites on usual tourist routes
are generally not at risk, and chemoprophylaxis is therefore not recommended. Travelers on
special scientific, educational, or recreational visits should check whether their
itineraries include evening or nighttime exposure in areas of risk or in areas of
chloroquine resistance.
