Note: Please do not get frightened by the spreading of diseases. Most diseases can be avoided by proper preparation (malaria prophylactic drugs) or sensible behavior (not petting wild dogs). The risk of becoming infected is then quite low. For more travel details check out the travel information by your local travel health portal or tropical institute.
