Here are some figures I've found for the drugs used by travelers and residents for malaria prevention here in Nigeria and other areas with chloroquine resistant malaria. Figures are $US per week for an adult. I'll try to find the other Jos prices soon if the drugs are available here. I'm not endorsing drugstore.com, it's just an easy place to find a price.
