Since June 2011, sixteen cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria, without previous history of travel to an endemic country, have been reported from Greece. Ten of the cases are residing in the municipality of Evrotas (Lakonia Prefecture), two in Chalkida (Evoia Prefecture), two in Eastern Attiki Prefecture, one in Agia (Larissa Prefecture) and one in Orchomenos (Viotia Prefecture).

Advice for Travellers
Malaria prophylaxis is not recommended as the risk to travellers is considered to be low. Travellers should be aware of these locally acquired malaria cases and be advised to avoid mosquito bites using personal protective methods and report any fevers promptly.
