Description
Jianhai Yin comments, in a 2024 letter to the editor, on a recent article about malaria cases in China. The article covered cases acquired through international travel from 2013 to 2022. Yin disputes several points in its account of China's malaria record. China reported zero indigenous cases in 2017. It was certified malaria free by the World Health Organization in 2021.
Yin corrects the date of the last local cases to 2016. He notes the downward trend in imported cases was not steady. He also adds missed cases of rare species and of transfusion related infection. The letter closes with a call to keep surveillance strong and stay alert to imported cases, so transmission cannot restart.
