We report on malaria acquired by German tourists to formerly non-endemic tourist resorts in the Dominican Republic between July 1999 and March 2000. Falciparum malaria is endemic in the western provinces and the hinterland of the Dominican Republic. By contrast, the risk of contracting malaria has always been considered so low in the main tourist resorts in the eastern part of the country that antimalarial chemoprophylaxis was not recommended.
我们报告了1999年7月至2000年3月期间德国游客在多米尼加共和国以前非疟疾流行的旅游胜地感染疟疾的情况。恶性疟在多米尼加共和国西部省份和内陆地区为地方病。相比之下，该国东部主要旅游胜地感染疟疾的风险一直被认为很低，以至于不建议进行抗疟化学预防。
