Malaria
Malaria is endemic throughout these areas.  There are a number of prophylactics available and be sure to obtain one from your physician and follow his directions.  If, despite taking recommended drugs, you feel unwell and feverish, seek medical advice as soon as possible.  If you are already in the UK, please do not forget to mention that you have been in a Malaria Zone.
