You must remember aswell that a mozi has to bite someone else with malaria first, and then bite you within seven days of having biten the malaria person, in order for you to get malaria. The mozi is not born with malaria, its just the carrier.
So find out if other people in the area have malaria as well, that will give you a good idea of your chances of getting it. The higher the density of the population where you will operate, the higher your risk, as there are more people for the mozi to bite within the seven days. After seven days, the malaria dies in the mozi.
If you do get biten, start looking for symptons after about a week to 14 days. There after you should be cool.
A very effective preventitive measure is a fan in your room directly over your bed.
The mozi is attracted to your cabon dioxide breath as you exhale to zone in on you so this disperses that trail. They are also fair weather flyers and cant land in cross winds so it keeps them of you as well.
Hope it helps and just keep your immune system boosted as this is still your last defence.
Adios amigo!
