Greek public health authorities 
have reported 5 cases of Plasmodium vivax malaria transmitted locally throughout the summer of 2017. Affected areas are:
Municipality of West Achaia, Achaia, Region of West Greece, 1 case in May 2017.
Municipality of Andravida-Kyllini, Ileia, Region of West Greece, 1 case in May and 1 case in July.
Municipality of Thiva, Viotia, 1 case in July.
Municipality of Messolonghi, Aitoloakarnania, 1 case in July.
In addition, 1 case of Plasmodium falciparum malaria (location undisclosed and route of infection unclear) is under investigation
Greece remains a country without endemic transmission of malaria and the risk of a traveller being infected is very low. Antimalarial chemoprophylaxis is unnecessary. However, avoidance of mosquito bites is strongly recommended as the first line of defence against malaria and other mosquito-borne infections.
