European alert? Airport workers die after being bitten by mosquito that may have arrived by plane

At least six employees at Frankfurt airport in Germany contracted malaria under circumstances considered rare by health authorities, with two of them dying and the others remaining in hospital treatment. German authorities believe the disease was transmitted by an infected mosquito carried on a plane from an endemic region, in a phenomenon known as "airport malaria." The Robert Koch Institute confirmed the situation and the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Antwerp, Belgium, is expected to analyze the samples to determine the exact origin of the infection. This type of transmission is uncommon in Europe, which may hinder timely diagnosis and increase the risk of serious complications.
