GASCON I BRUSTENGA, J.. Malaria imported by immigrants. Anales Sis San Navarra [online]. 2006, vol.29, suppl.1, pp.121-125. ISSN 1137-6627.

The immigrants from endemic zones who live in Europe are those with the greatest risk of acquiring malaria during trips to their countries, since they usually travel for longer than other travellers and to zones and under conditions of greater risk. The figures for the years 2002-2004 in Spain indicate that P. falciparum is the most diagnosed species. Africa is the continent from which most cases are imported and immigrants contribute 34-41% of all cases.
