Over the past decade the United Kingdom had the second highest number of cases of imported malaria among European countries. There has been a substantial rise in recorded cases of malaria during the past three years though some of it may be due to improved notification. Fatal cases of malaria in visitors to Africa have averaged 6.5% of reported infections due to Plasmodium falciparum. Attacks of vivax malaria may occur several months after travellers return from a malarious country.
在过去十年中,英国是欧洲国家中输入性疟疾病例数第二多的国家。在过去三年里,记录在案的疟疾病例大幅上升,不过其中部分原因可能是报告情况有所改善。前往非洲的游客中,因恶性疟原虫感染导致的疟疾死亡病例平均占报告感染病例的6.5%。间日疟的发作可能在旅行者从疟疾流行国家返回几个月后出现。
