How are the mozzies making back? On the planes? Don't they spray the insides of the planes?

I suppose if you get back infected and get bitten by a mozzie at home you might theoretically be spreading the disease. And the insects themselves might be spreading of course. It's a price to pay for all that unbridled traffic I guess.
These concerns have been going on for a long time and are not just related to people returning from Goa. Combined with climatic conditions being more favorable to the critters involved we might be headed towards a real ball. I believe this is how West Nile virus was caused to appear in parts of the USA.

If you want to try and save a bit of money then switch to doxycycline. Buy one strip at home and the rest in India!! That will save you a few bob!!
