ABSTRACT
Malaria is a severe and potentially fatal mosquitoborne disease caused by infection with Plasmodium spp. parasites. Although malaria is no longer endemic in the United States, imported infections are reported annually; the primary risk group has been U.S. residents traveling to areas where malaria is endemic (1). In 2023, sporadic locally acquired mosquito-transmitted malaria cases were reported in several U.S. states (2,3). This report describes increases in imported malaria cases in 2023 compared with 2022 in three public health jurisdictions along the U.S. southern border.
