[Prevention of reintroduction of malaria in Reunion in 1972-1973].

On the island of the Reunion, malaria was eradicated; however the situation remains precarious because of the presence there of a very effective vector and also because of the frequent trips in neighbouring countries in particular Madagascar. The fight against the reintroduction of this formerly prevalent disease requires strict control of travellers as well as the detection and rapid treatment of imported cases. Ever on a small island with a strong sanitary organization; this vigilance can be difficult.
