Default Analysis: Why malaria is unlikely to return to Italy

Analysis: Why malaria is unlikely to return to Italy

Despite the recent death of an Italian child from malaria, scientists believe the disease is unlikely to return to the country. Researchers Emanuele Giorgi and Donal Bisanzio explain why.

The last few years have seen a massive increase in migrants arriving in Europe from Africa. This has also led to an increase in the number of malaria cases detected by the surveillance systems set up in various European countries, especially in the Mediterranean region.

In addition to the relatively high number of imported cases of malaria from sub-Saharan Africa to the whole of Europe, as travel and flight connections increase, the chance of importing African mosquitoes that can carry P. falciparum has also strongly risen. It has been observed that mosquitoes can be imported from malaria endemic countries to Europe.
