Details

Malaria does not occur naturally in the UK but travel-associated cases are reported in those who have returned to the UK or arrived (either as a visitor or migrant to the UK) from malaria-endemic areas.

This report presents data on malaria imported into the UK, based on figures reported to the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA)’s Malaria Reference Laboratory (MRL) and Public Health Scotland (PHS).

Previous reports (2014 to 2019) were published by Public Health England (PHE).
