In this segment, Dr. Plowe describes the malarial preventive treatments and travel-precautionary strategies applied for patients, including chemoprophylaxis, mosquito abatement methods, and chemical repellants such as DDT and Silent Spring. The interview concludes with an examination of natural immunity to malaria and the question on whether some people who live in endemic areas still need prophylaxis.
