Induced and Imported Malaria: Then and Now!

Summary

Summaries of the world malaria situation published periodically by the World Health Organisation indicate that this disease continues to remain a major public health problem in developing countries. The latest reports indicate that there were roughly 2.5 million cases in Southeast Asia, 1.1 million in the South Pacific, 0.9 million in the Americas, 0.3 million in the eastern Mediterranean and 0.03 million in the European region comprising mainly Asian Turkey. There is no reliable information from the WHO African region, which has a total population of about 420 million and forms the core of the global reservoir of malaria. It is estimated that the annual number of clinical cases of malaria is between 80 and 120 million, but the period prevalence of the infection is close to 90% of the population. Transfusion malaria is a form of indirectly imported disease and any shortage of blood donors increases the difficulty of proper screening of donors. A number of technical, administrative and other aspects of screening of voluntary blood donors have arisen recently and their importance must not be underestimated. Any modifications of the present regulation must take into account the epidemiological conditions of the countries concerned. The presence of chloroquine resistance in Plasmodium falciparum requires special considerations.
