To understand the characteristics of malaria prevalence in Wenzhou City in 2013, so as to provide the evidence for improving the elimination program of malaria.METHODS:
The epidemiological data of malaria in Wenzhou City in 2013 were collected from the Chinese information system for disease control and prevention, and analyzed with the descriptive epidemiological methods for epidemiological characteristics of malaria.RESULTS:

Plasmodiumfalciparum, P. ovale and P. vivax were identified in 31, 1 and 2 cases, respectively. No death cases were reported, and 64.71% (22/34) of the cases were reported in Cangnan County, Lucheng District and Rui' an City. The malaria cases were mostly concentrated in persons aged 20-49 years with male to female sex ratio at 4.67 1, and the predominant portion of cases were workers and commercial service personnel. Totally 97.06% of the cases were imported from Africa.CONCLUSIONS:
