Increasing Complexity Threatens the Elimination of Extra-Amazonian Malaria in Brazil

Laura C Multini et al. Trends Parasitol. 2019 Jun.

Abstract

Extra-Amazonian malaria has been reported to be endemic in Brazil since the end of the 19th century. Currently, only a few cases are reported annually. However, recent findings of unexpected Plasmodium infections with uncertain transmission cycles in the Extra-Amazonian region could pose a threat to the malaria elimination agenda in Brazil.

Keywords: Anopheles cruzii; Atlantic Forest; Kerteszia subgenus; Plasmodium.
