title: [From malaria to post-transfusional malaria].
abstract: Malaria is still a blood transmissible disease, though its frequency is continuously decreasing in non endemic countries. In endemic areas, the number of infected subjects is either stable or increasing, depending on the involved country. Cases of imported malaria, particularly malaria due to Plasmodium falciparum, are increasing in France. In regard to prevention in blood donors, regulations aiming at excluding potentially contaminated donors were implemented with positive effects. Since 1994, no cases of malaria have been reported by the French organization of hemovigilance.
