Malaria risk of African mosquito movement by air travel
Malaria risk of African mosquito movement by air travel
The expansion of global travel has resulted in the importation of African Anopheles mosquitoes, giving rise to cases of local malaria transmission. Here, cases of “airport malaria” are used to quantify, using a combination of global climate and air traffic volume, where and when are the greatest risks of a Plasmodium falciparum-carrying mosquito being imported by air. This priorities areas at risk of further airport malaria and possible importation or reemergence of the disease.

Abstract
The expansion of global travel has resulted in the importation of African Anopheles mosquitoes, giving rise to cases of local malaria transmission. Here, cases of “airport malaria” are used to quantify, using a combination of global climate and air traffic volume, where and when are the greatest risks of a Plasmodium falciparum-carrying mosquito being imported by air. This priorities areas at risk of further airport malaria and possible importation or reemergence of the disease.
