MMWR Surveill Summ 2016;65:1–22 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. CDC received 1,727 reported cases of malaria, including two congenital cases, with an onset of symptoms in 2013 among persons in the United States. Malaria surveillance in the United States is conducted to identify episodes of local transmission and to guide prevention recommendations for travelers. The majority of malaria infections in the United States occur among persons who have traveled to regions with ongoing malaria transmission. This report summarizes cases in persons with onset of illness in 2013 and summarizes trends during previous years. |
