Summary

Imported malaria cases increased in Moscow due to population migration from endemic regions. Plasmodium vivax, a common cause of tertian malaria, poses a growing public health concern requiring intensified control measures.

Area of Science:

Public Health
Infectious Diseases
Epidemiology

Context:

Malaria was eradicated in Moscow in 1960, but imported cases occurred sporadically for decades.
Mass migration from malaria-endemic CIS countries in the late 1990s led to increased tertian malaria transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes in the Moscow Region.
Between 2000-2004, 793 malaria cases were recorded, with a rising proportion of local Muscovites affected.

Purpose:

To analyze the malaria situation in Moscow from 2000 to 2004, focusing on imported cases and local transmission.
To identify the primary causative agent and contributing factors to the resurgence of malaria in the region.
To highlight the need for intensified antimalarial and antiepidemic measures.

Summary:

A total of 793 malaria cases were documented between 2000 and 2004.
Plasmodium vivax, the agent of tertian malaria, accounted for 74.8% of infections.
The proportion of malaria cases among Moscow residents increased significantly, indicating local transmission.

Impact:

The study underscores the persistent risk of malaria importation and local transmission in non-endemic areas.
Challenges such as late diagnosis and drug shortages exacerbate the malaria situation.
Urgent intensification of antiepidemic measures is recommended to control malaria in Moscow over the next three years.
