Malaria prophylaxis.
A trial of malaria prophylaxis was carried out on 744 army personnel who were camping in an endemic area over a 3-month period. Three antimalarial drugs were used under strict control and the local population was used as a control, to prove that malaria was present during this time. No cases of malaria occurred in the trial group during this period.
