Solution

Chemoprophylaxis of malaria is recommended for:

A. Residents of nonendemic areas: This is not typically necessary as these individuals are not regularly exposed to the malaria parasite and therefore do not need prophylactic treatment.

B. Residents of endemic areas: While these individuals are at risk, they often develop a partial immunity to the disease over time. Therefore, chemoprophylaxis is not typically recommended for them.

C. Travellers from nonendemic to endemic areas: This is the group for whom chemoprophylaxis is most strongly recommended. These individuals have no immunity to the disease and are likely to be exposed to the malaria parasite when they travel to an endemic area.

D. Travellers from endemic to nonendemic: This is not typically necessary as these individuals are moving to an area where they are unlikely to be exposed to the malaria parasite.

So, the answer is C. Travellers from nonendemic to endemic areas.
