Malaria is the most important parasitic protozoan infection that has caused serious threats to human health globally. China has had success in reducing the morbidity and mortality of malaria to the lowest level through sustained and large-scale interventions. Although the total number of malaria cases declined gradually, the burden of the imported malaria cases mainly from Southeast Asian and African countries has increased substantially since 2000, posing a severe threat to public health in China. This review explores and analyses the epidemiological characteristics of the imported malaria based on data from 2000 to 2012, in order to provide theoretical bases and insights into effective prevention, avoid the resurgence of malaria in malaria-susceptible areas and develop appropriate strategies to protect people's health in China. This review also intends to offer the useful information of innovative approaches and tools that are required for malaria elimination in various settings.
疟疾是最重要的寄生原生动物感染，已在全球范围内对人类健康造成严重威胁。中国通过持续大规模干预，成功将疟疾的发病率和死亡率降至最低水平。尽管疟疾病例总数逐渐下降，但自2000年以来，主要来自东南亚和非洲国家的输入性疟疾病例负担大幅增加，对中国公共卫生构成严重威胁。本综述基于2000年至2012年的数据，探索并分析输入性疟疾的流行病学特征，以便为有效预防提供理论依据和见解，避免疟疾易感地区疟疾的再度流行，并制定适当策略保护中国人民的健康。本综述还旨在提供在各种环境中消除疟疾所需的创新方法和工具的有用信息。
