Abstract: In 2015, WHO issued the Global Technical Strategy for Malaria 2016-2030, which sets the target of reducing global malaria incidence and mortality rates by at least 90% by 2030. Although many countries have successfully achieved malaria elimination, they are facing the risk of imported malaria. In China, despite the acceleration of malaria elimination, imported malaria has become a potential threat to achieving complete malaria elimination. This paper reviews the worldwide research progress on risk assessment of secondary transmission of imported malaria, in the aim of providing reference for risk assessment of imported malaria and preventing secondary transmission in China.
