Two cases of malaria imported from West Africa by two sailors (falciparum and vivax respectively) are reported. It is pointed out that nowadays malaria is no longer indigenous to Sicily but has to be imported; an increasing number of cases of malaria are being reported world-wide in relation to increased traffic volumes, particularly air traffic. This means growing importance of imported pathology for which a new training strategy is required (with regard to young physicians who at present are quite uniformed of the problem). Doctors and travellers should also be informed of the risk of contracting malaria.
报告了两名水手从西非输入的两例疟疾（分别为恶性疟和间日疟）。需要指出的是，如今疟疾在西西里岛已非本土疾病，而是必须通过输入；随着交通流量尤其是航空交通量的增加，全球报告的疟疾病例越来越多。这意味着输入性疾病的重要性日益增加，对此需要一种新的培训策略（针对目前对该问题了解甚少的年轻医生）。医生和旅行者也应被告知感染疟疾的风险。
