The incidence of imported malaria is increasing in France, in relation to the increasing frequency of travel to tropical areas and the extension of chemoresistant strains of Plasmodium falciparum throughout the world. Worsening morbidity and mortality due to this parasite in the last 5 years is having an impact in socioeconomic terms; this is all the more prejudicial in that a young healthy population is concerned. Traditional chemoprophylaxis is at present insufficient for adequately controlling this recrudescence. Both the public and general practitioners should be made more aware of the measures to be taken during, and especially after foreign travel, in order to reverse the present tendency concerning imported malaria, and to improve travellers' protection.
在法国，由于前往热带地区旅行的频率增加以及恶性疟原虫耐化疗菌株在全球范围内的扩散，输入性疟疾的发病率正在上升。过去五年中，这种寄生虫导致的发病率和死亡率不断恶化，正在产生社会经济影响；鉴于涉及的是年轻健康人群，这种影响尤为不利。目前，传统的化学预防措施不足以充分控制这种复发情况。应提高公众和全科医生对在国外旅行期间，尤其是旅行后应采取措施的认识，以便扭转目前关于输入性疟疾的趋势，并加强旅行者的防护。
