- A yellow fever vaccination is required if travelling from or through a country suffering from the disease. Travellers entering Brazil from non infected regions are instructed to consider obtaining protection from the disease regardless.
- There is a high risk of Malaria throughout the year in many rural locations below 900m. Areas where the disease is most active include the nine states of the Legal Amazonia region Acre, Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão (western part), Mato Grosso (northern part), Pará (except Belém City), Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins. Cases of the disease are less reported in more urban areas and main cities such as Pôrto Velho, Boa Vista, Macapá, Manaus, Santarém and Maraba. The disease is generally found in areas where heavy mining and agriculture is taking place but travellers staying in other areas are still strongly advised to take care to avoid any potential risk of infection.
- Other insect based diseases found throughout Brazil include Dengue Fever, recent outbreaks of which have been reported from the states of Amazonas, Acre, Ceara, Minas Gerais, Espirito Santo, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Alagoas, Rio Grande do Sul, and Rio Grande do Norte. Confirmed cases of visceral leishmaniasis and Oropouche Fever have also been noted throughout the country in isolated regions and all travellers should seek out medical attention if infected by any of these diseases.
- Hepatitis B is also present throughout the entire region and all visitors are instructed to take great care when dealing with bloody or infected needles or if engaging in sexual activity during the course of their visit.
- Rabies is also present in the bites from wild or infected animals throughout the country and any traveller bitten by these creatures should clean the wound before immediately seeking out medical assistance before serious symptoms develop.
- Brazil is a country which currently has a higher than average level of crime and all travellers are strongly advised to take great care when out in busy public locations. Instances of kidnappings and violent assaults are common in Rio and other main cities throughout the country and visitors are urged to avoid public displays of affluence which could potentially attract unwanted attention. Sexual assaults are a possibility and female visitors should take special care if travelling alone after dark.
- Storms, flash flooding, and landslides are common in the wet season between December and March and all foreign drivers inside the country during this period are urged to avoid driving in potentially hazardous weather conditions.
- Drug trafficking is widespread throughout Brazil and penalties for any drug related activities are severe. All travellers should take great care to avoid any participation in drugs related activity which could bring them to the attention of the police.
