Summary
A study that attempted to record all cases of airport and baggage malaria from 1969 to 2024 in Europe came to a total of 145 cases, 9 of them in Germany. The last malaria case at Frankfurt Airport was recorded in 2023. Malaria is a life-threatening disease if left untreated, according to previous data from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Furthermore, According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), there are some Anopheles species in Germany that can transmit malaria pathogens under suitable environmental conditions. Malaria is transmitted to humans by Anopheles mosquitoes if they have previously picked up the virus on another bite. However, it can also lead to confusion, seizures and difficulty breathing.
In addition, At other airports, too, according to spokespersons, such incidents occur again and again.
