Abstract
Malaria in the WHO European Region has gone from control to elimination thanks to the great efforts of health services in endemic countries. Locally transmitted malaria cases decreased from 90,000 late in the 20th century to 0 in 2015. Currently, there is a real threat to resurgence of malaria in the south of the European and Asian parts of the Region. Neglecting malaria prevention measures in the countries with high malariogenic potential areas where malaria elimination has been achieved may lead to consequences of imported malaria.
