Abstract:

Malaria is a worldwide insect-borne infectious disease that seriously impairs human health. With the development of international exchanges and labor export, the number of contract workers going abroad is increasing these years. The labor workers abroad are at the high risk of infectious diseases. In practical, it is significant to protect their health and resolve the risk of cross-border transmission of imported malaria. This article reviews recent literature on the status of malaria as well as the prevention and treatment of this disease among Chinese overseas labor personnel, in order to advance our understanding of progress in malaria elimination work and provide referable experience for elimination of malaria in the country.

Key words: Malaria, Contract workers going abroad, Current situation
