Possible autochthonous malaria from Marseille to Minneapolis

Barbara Doudier et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

We report 2 cases of Plasmodium falciparum malaria in southern France in a French woman and an American man of Togolese origin who reported no recent travel to malaria-endemic countries. Both infections occurred after a stay near Marseille, which raises the possibility of autochthonous transmission. Entomologic and genotypic investigations are described.
