| A or C Papua New Guinea Malaria Areas with malaria: Present throughout the country at altitudes <2,000 m (6,561 ft). Estimated relative risk of malaria for US travelers: High. Drug resistance4: Chloroquine (both P. falciparum and P. vivax). Malaria species: P. falciparum 65%–80%, P. vivax 10%–30%, remainder P. malariae and P. ovale. Recommended chemoprophylaxis: Atovaquone-proguanil, doxycycline, or mefloquine. Other Vaccines to Consider Routine, hepatitis A & B, typhoid, Japanese encephalitis, and rabies.9 http://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel/yellowbook/2014/chapter-3-infectious-diseases-related-to-travel/travel-vaccines-and-malaria-information-by-country/papua-new-guineaI think the first priority would be Doxycycline.
