Malaria Surveillance — United States, 2010
Malaria in humans is caused by intraerythrocytic protozoa of the genus Plasmodium. These parasites are transmitted by the bite of an infective female Anopheles mosquito. The majority of malaria infections in the United States occur among persons who have traveled to areas with ongoing malaria transmission. In the United States, cases can occur through exposure to infected blood products, congenital transmission, or local mosquitoborne transmission. Malaria surveillance is conducted to identify episodes of local transmission and to guide prevention recommendations for travelers. The number of cases reported in 2010 marked the largest number of cases reported since 1980. This report summarizes cases in persons with onset of illness in 2010 and summarizes trends during previous years.
