title: Unusual transmission of Plasmodium falciparum, Bordeaux, France, 2009.
abstract: Plasmodium falciparum malaria is usually transmitted by mosquitoes. We report 2 cases in France transmitted by other modes: occupational blood exposure and blood transfusion. Even where malaria is not endemic, it should be considered as a cause of unexplained acute fever.
