# Mosquitos? Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea / Palau
lm17 20:27 UTC 21 May 2019 | Going soon. Just wondering what the mosquito situation is in Palau? I'm used to tropical SE Asia, but just seeing if anyone has heard about Dengue or Malaria there? How diligent do I need to be when out at night in Korer? Thanks in advance for any and all info. |
