“…Most P. falciparum, P. ovale and P. malariae cases in our study were acquired in Africa, consistent with global species distribution. 63 , 64 However, we found a lower proportion of imported cases acquired in Africa compared with European and North American studies (68–95%), 14 , 15 , 46 , 47 , 56 , 58 reflective of traveller patterns. A study from New Zealand, which has a similar traveller profile to Australia, demonstrated that PNG and the Western Pacific accounted for the majority of imported malaria cases (39%), with Africa accounting for 21%.…”

“…While most reported cases were P. falciparum and acquired in Sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of cases acquired in Oceania and attributable to P. vivax was notably higher than that reported from most other non-endemic countries (Supplementary material, Table S3 ), where P. vivax only accounts for 4–19% of cases and 5% or fewer of cases are acquired in Oceania. 14 , 46–49 …”

“…In the USA approximately 2000 persons were diagnosed with malaria in 2017 of which 14% developed severe disease with a case fatality rate of 0.3% [ 33 ]. In 2021, the UK reported 1,012 cases of imported malaria with 3 deaths (0.3% case fatality, all due to P. falciparum malaria) [ 34 ] and more recently, Giannone et al [ 35 ] reported 8439 imported malaria cases in Switzerland over a thirty year period from 1990 to 2019 with 52 deaths, amounting to a case fatality rate of 0.62% [ 35 ].…”

“…However, there were frequent reports of non-African travellers diagnosed with P. vivax when they return to their home countries [39]. In recent studies, Sweden and China reported P. vivax among their returnees from these regions (4% and 8% respectively, of total cases originated from these regions) [50]. Nevertheless, there have been rising evidence of P. vivax appears at low prevalence in both Duffy-negative and Duffy-positive populations in West and Central Africa, which suggests the possibility of sustained P. vivax transmission in this region [51].…”
