title: Source identification of autochthonous-introduced Plasmodium vivax Malaria, Spain.
abstract: In 2014, an autochthonous case of introduced malaria caused by Plasmodium vivax was identified in Spain. The strain that infected this patient was identical to that of a prior imported case from Pakistan. This is the first case where the source of infection could be identified since elimination in Spain.
