title: [Malaria epidemiology].
abstract: The investigators examine the worldwide epidemiological aspects of malaria infection, stressing the importance of possible alternative pathways of Plasmodium transmission in countries considered free of infection. The potential danger due to the persistence in Italy of the Anopheles mosquito, which could resume its role as a vector of Plasmodium in the future, is pointed out.
