Prevention of falciparum malaria involves a combination of personal protective measures and community-wide interventions:
Insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs): Sleeping under ITNs to prevent mosquito bites. Indoor residual spraying (IRS): Spraying the interior walls of homes with insecticides to kill mosquitoes. Antimalarial drugs: Taking prophylactic antimalarial medications when traveling to areas where malaria is prevalent. Environmental management: Reducing mosquito breeding sites by eliminating standing water and promoting proper waste disposal.
