    Area of Science:

    • Tropical Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Parasitology

    Background:

    • Malaria is an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes.
    • Despite a global decrease in burden, malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide.
    • Imported malaria is a significant concern in travelers returning from endemic areas.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the epidemiology of malaria in Japan.
    • To discuss the pathogenesis, clinical features, and diagnosis of malaria.
    • To outline the prevention and treatment strategies for malaria in Japan.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of malaria epidemiology, pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment.
    • Focus on imported malaria cases in travelers returning to Japan.
    • Synthesis of current knowledge for clinical application.

    Main Results:

    • Malaria remains a critical infectious disease globally, despite recent decreases in its burden.
    • Accurate diagnosis and effective management of malaria require substantial expertise.
    • Imported malaria presents a diagnostic challenge in febrile travelers from endemic regions.

    Conclusions:

    • Understanding malaria's epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical presentation is crucial for timely diagnosis.
    • Effective prevention and treatment protocols are essential for managing malaria cases, especially imported ones.
    • This review provides a comprehensive overview of malaria in Japan, aiding healthcare professionals.
