Details

Malaria is a serious febrile illness caused by the Plasmodium parasite. While the infection does not naturally occur in the UK, travel-related (imported) cases are regularly reported in the UK.

London consistently reports the largest share of cases. In 2018, 1,683 cases were reported in the UK with 48% of these reported in London.

This report presents data for South London in 2018. In 2018, 405 cases of malaria were reported in South London, representing almost half of those in London.
