Abstract

Malaria infection remains a potential health threat to U.S. service members located in or near endemic areas due to duty assignments, participation in contingency operations, or personal travel. In 2024, a total of 30 active and reserve component service members were diagnosed with or reported to have malaria, a 23.1% decrease from the 39 cases identified in 2023. Over half of U.S. service member malaria cases in 2024 were caused by Plasmodium falciparum (56.7%, n=17), followed by unspecified types of malaria (33.3%, n=10) and P. vivax (10.0%, n=3). Malaria cases were diagnosed or reported from 18 different medical facilities in the U.S., Germany, Africa, Japan, Middle East, and South Korea. Of the 27 cases with a known location of diagnosis, 11 (40.7%) were reported or diagnosed outside the U.S. This report documents a total of 30 malaria cases in 2024, a 23.1% decrease from 39 cases in 2023, mainly due to declines in Africa and other or unspecified locations. As in 2023, Plasmodium falciparum continues to constitute over half of new malaria cases (n=17, 56.7%) among active and reserve component U.S. service members.

美国武装部队成员的疟疾,2024年。
由于执行任务、参与应急行动或个人旅行,疟疾感染仍然是位于流行地区或附近的美国服务人员的潜在健康威胁。2024年,共有30名现役和预备役军人被诊断患有或报告患有疟疾,比2023年确诊的39例减少了23.1%。2024年美国服役人员疟疾病例中有一半以上是由恶性疟原虫引起的(56.7%,n=17),其次是未指明类型的疟疾(33.3%,n=10)和间日疟原虫(10.0%,n=3)。在美国、德国、非洲、日本、中东和韩国的18个不同的医疗机构中诊断或报告了疟疾病例。在已知诊断地点的27例病例中,有11例(40.7%)是在美国以外报告或诊断的。该报告记录了2024年总共30例疟疾病例,比2023年的39例减少了23.1%,主要原因是非洲和其他或未指明地点的病例减少。与2023年一样,在现役和预备役美国军人中,恶性疟原虫继续占新发疟疾病例的一半以上(n=17, 56.7%)。
