<unk> , sometimes known as baggage, luggage or suitcase<unk> , occurs when a<unk>  infected female Anopheles mosquito travels by aircraft from a country where<unk>  is common, arrives in a country where<unk>  is usually not found, and bites a person at or around the vicinity of the<unk> , or if the climate is suitable, travels in luggage and bites a person further away. The infected person usually presents with a fever in the absence of a recent travel history. There is often no suspicion of<unk> , resulting in a delay in diagnosis and often death. Other causes of imported<unk>  need to be excluded first. Most mosquitoes on aircraft do not carry<unk>  and the few that do are relatively inefficient invaders. The climate of the host country also offers natural protection. The detection and treatment is the same as of<unk>  in general. Prevention involves control of mosquitoes at and around<unk> s in the countries of departure and on the aircraft. Studies of<unk>  have been largely observations of individual scenarios, all unique in timing, place of infection and problems, in addition to possibilities of error.
