We describe two cases of probable autochthonous introduced Plasmodium vivax malaria that occurred in 2009 and 2011 in two sites of South-Central Italy. Although the sources of the infections were not detected, local transmission could not be disproved and therefore the cases were classified as autochthonous. Sporadic P. vivax cases transmitted by indigenous vectors may be considered possible in some areas of the country where vector abundance and environmental conditions are favourable to malaria transmission.
我们描述了两例可能是输入性疟疾病例，发生于 2009 年和 2011 年意大利中南部的两个地点。尽管感染源没有被发现，但不能排除本地传播的可能性，因此这些病例被归类为输入性。在一些适合蚊虫传播疟疾的国家地区，可能会出现由当地媒介传播的散发性间日疟病例。
