Malaria at Frankfurt Airport | Denver News

Two airport workers in Frankfurt died from malaria, likely brought in by a mosquito that hitched a ride on an airplane — sparking alarm and prompting urgent health checks for six infected staff, with four hospitalized. Public health officials confirm the risk to the public is minimal since malaria isn’t person-to-person, but traps are now deployed to track the mosquito’s origin. Experts warn delayed diagnosis can worsen outcomes, even as treatments exist — a chilling reminder of how global travel can unleash unexpected health threats.
