Abstract

A case of unusual transmission by Plasmodium falciparum malaria is reported. The patient, had not been travelling outside North-West of Italy for the previous 6 months, he was not drug abuser. He had spent the last two months prior his admission, partly in his home town, an urban area in the region of Piemonte, and partly in a resort area on the Ligurian sea. Neither place has ever been associated with unusual malaria transmission. The possible transmission way is through a live vector imported from endemic area in a port terminal near a resort area.
