Vivax malaria re-emerged in the Republic of Korea (ROK) in 1993. The annual incidence of this disease, which had increased rapidly through 2000 with geographic expansion, started to decrease in 2001, reaching 864 cases in 2004; however, the trends changed in 2005 when 1,304 cases were reported. Among 2,168 cases of vivax malaria reported from 2004 through 2005, 389 cases (17.9%) were ROK military personnel, 565 cases (26.1%) were veterans who had been discharged from the military within 2 years of report of infection, and 1,214 cases (56.0%) were civilians. Local transmission might have taken place during this period in the southern side of the Demilitarized Zone. Regional increase of vivax malaria in North Korea, increased local transmissions in ROK, and active transmission by vector mosquitoes during the transmission season might be important factors responsible for the re-increase of vivax malaria in ROK during 2005.
间日疟于1993年在大韩民国再度出现。该疾病的年发病率在2000年之前随着地域扩展而迅速上升，2001年开始下降，2004年降至864例；然而，2005年报告了1304例，趋势发生了变化。在2004年至2005年报告的2168例间日疟病例中，389例（17.9%）是韩国军人，565例（2%）是在感染报告前2年内退伍的退伍军人，1214例（56.0%）是平民。在此期间，非军事区南侧可能发生了本地传播。朝鲜间日疟的区域增加、韩国本地传播的增加以及传播季节媒介蚊子的活跃传播可能是2005年韩国间日疟再度增加的重要因素。 6.1%）是在感染报告前2年内退伍的退伍军人，1214例（56.0%）是平民。在此期间，非军事区南侧可能发生了本地传播。朝鲜间日疟的区域增加、韩国本地传播的增加以及传播季节媒介蚊子的活跃传播可能是2005年韩国间日疟再度增加的重要因素。
