<unk>  is rare with most cases being reported sporadically and in the summer. It is not as well recognised as malaria in a person with a travel history to a place with endemic malaria. Europe Between 1969 and 1999, Europe saw up to 89 people diagnosed with<unk> . The frequent flights from Sub-saharan Africa resulted in Belgium, France and the Netherlands being at highest risk. In the UK, at least 14 people with<unk>  were reported between 1969 and 1999. In 1983, 12 out of 67 aircraft flying from tropical countries to Gatwick<unk> , London, contained mosquitoes. In the same year, falciparum malaria was reported in two people living and from Gatwick<unk> . It was deduced that an infected mosquito accompanied aircrew to a pub near Gatwick and infected its landlord. It was also construed that the same stowaway mosquito also transmitted malaria to a woman who rode through the same village on her motor scooter. High minimum temperatures and humidity were thought to have allowed the infected anopheline mosquitoes to enter the country via aircraft and facilitate their survival. Reports of transmission taking place on the aircraft occurred in the UK in 1984 and 1990, the only such reports on aircraft, leading to infection on aircraft being described as a "British speciality". In 2002, one report came from the vicinity of Heathrow<unk> . In France, most flights at risk arrive at Charles de Gaulle<unk> , Paris, and to a much lesser extent at Marseille, Nice, Lyon, Bordeaux and Toulouse. In 1994,<unk>  was identified in and around Charles de Gaulle<unk>  in six people, of which four were<unk>  workers, and the others lived away in Villeparisis. It was thought that the mosquitoes traveled in the cars of<unk>  workers who lived next door to the two people. All were caused by P. falciparum. In 1989, two cases of falciparum malaria were identified in Italy in two people who lived in Geneva. Distance from the nearest<unk>  ruled out<unk>  in one woman who developed malaria in Italy. A local mosquito (Anopheles labranchiae) had bitten a girl with malaria from India and passed it on. This species was a common malaria vector in Italy until the country was declared malaria free in 1970. Five cases of<unk>  were reported in Geneva in the hot summer of 1989. In Spain, 1964 marked the elimination of malaria following sanitary and socioeconomic developments. However, over the following 50 years, more than 10 000 cases of malaria were reported, of which 0.8% had no history of recent travel.<unk>  was reported in two people. In 1984, a 76-year-old woman died from P. falciparum after visiting relatives less than from Madrid<unk> . Suspected to have pneumonia, the diagnosis was not initially clear. In 2001, a second woman was diagnosed, treated and recovered. Other countries In the United States, between 1957 and 2003, there were 156 people reported with malaria who had no history of travel or other risk factors. Some were likely to be caused by<unk> . A small number of<unk>  reports have come from Florida.<unk>  was first reported in Australia in 1996.
