Airport malaria is a particular form of autochthonous malaria: it happens when the Plasmodium infected Anopheles genus mosquito travels from an endemic area to a malaria free airport. Since 1969, 30 cases of airport malaria have been reported in France, 2 during summer 2008. The severity of airport malaria is explained by the frequency of Plasmodium falciparum infecting non immune individuals and an often important diagnosis delay. It is a compulsory notification disease in France. The International Health Regulations (IHR) require states to check that airplanes coming from malaria or arboviral endemic area are systematically disinsected. Vector control measures have to be implemented within a distance of at least 400 meters around the perimeter of airports in malaria or arboviral endemic areas. In France, this measure applies to all airports of French overseas territories, except for the island of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
当感染疟原虫的按蚊属蚊子从疟疾流行地区飞到无疟疾的机场时，就会发生机场疟疾。自1969年以来，法国已报告30例机场疟疾病例，2008年夏季报告了2例。机场疟疾的严重性在于恶性疟原虫感染非免疫个体的频率以及通常较长的诊断延迟。在法国，这是一种强制报告疾病。《国际卫生条例》要求各国检查来自疟疾或虫媒病毒流行地区的飞机是否进行了系统消毒。在疟疾或虫媒病毒流行地区的机场周边至少400米范围内必须实施病媒控制措施。在法国，这项措施适用于法国海外领土的所有机场，但圣皮埃尔和密克隆岛除外。
