Airport malaria in Germany remains infrequent

An outbreak of malaria at Frankfurt Airport this summer has raised concerns about the spread of the disease. However, experts believe the risk of contracting malaria is low now that fall has begun. This is because the parasites that cause malaria are typically more active in warmer weather. As a result, the chances of encountering infected mosquitoes or contaminated luggage are reduced, providing some relief for travelers and the German economy.
