RODRIGUEZ-MORALES, Alfonso J. et al. Social aspects related to imported malaria in Latin america. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2008, vol.25, n.2, pp.208-216. ISSN 1726-4634.
Malaria continues to be a world public health problem, not only in those endemic countries but also now beginning to be a medical dilemma in distant countries for the arrival of imported cases. Now, even when in terms of the conventional medical disciplines many clinical and epidemiological studies, as well case reports, have been published, the social aspects, apparently obvious given the fact imported malaria is related to human population migration, have been not furtherly studied in regard to this phenomena. For these reasons in the current review, the social aspects related with the imported malaria phenomena with emphasis in the epidemiological context of Latin America are analyzed.
