在经历了很长一段时间的流行，直到20世纪50年代，世界卫生组织于1979年认为本土疟疾在留尼旺被消灭了。为防止本地疟疾的二次传播和再次出现，开展了长期流行病学和昆虫学监测以及媒介控制措施。本研究的目的是报告2003-2008年输入性疟疾患者的社会人口学特征和发病率，采用强制性通报的方法，以确定风险群体和目的地。在此期间，报告了684例输入性疟疾病例。患者中位年龄为34.4岁，儿童占22.1%
After a long period of endemicity until the 1950s, the World Health Organization considered autochthonous malaria eliminated from Reunion in 1979. To prevent secondary transmission and re-emergence of autochthonous malaria, permanent epidemiologic and entomological surveillance and vector control measures are conducted.The objective of this study is to report sociodemographic characteristics of imported malaria patients and incidence rates from 2003-2008 using mandatory notification with the aim of identifying risk groups and destinations.During this period, 684 imported malaria cases were reported. Median age of patients was 34.4 years and 22.1% were children
