最近在美国人口稠密地区爆发的三起当地获得性疟疾表明，这种疾病的蚊媒传播风险仍然存在。全球旅行、移民的增加，以及美国大陆各地有能力的按蚊媒介的存在，都助长了疟疾传播的持续威胁。在美国，蚊媒传播的可能性取决于人类宿主、按蚊媒介、疟疾寄生虫和环境条件之间的相互作用。本地获得性疟疾的流行病学的最新变化和可能的因素促成这些变化进行了讨论。
Three recent outbreaks of locally acquired malaria in densely populated areas of the United States demonstrate the continued risk for mosquitoborne transmission of this disease. Increased global travel, immigration, and the presence of competent anopheline vectors throughout the continental United States contribute to the ongoing threat of malaria transmission. The likelihood of mosquitoborne transmission in the United States is dependent on the interactions between the human host, anopheline vector, malaria parasite, and environmental conditions. Recent changes in the epidemiology of locally acquired malaria and possible factors contributing to these changes are discussed.
