Malaria among members of the U.S. Armed Forces, 2023.
MSMR publishes annual updates on the incidence of malaria among U.S. service members. Malaria infection remains a potential health threat to U.S. service members located in or near endemic areas due to duty assignment, participation in contingency operations, or personal travel. In 2023, a total of 39 active and reserve component service members were diagnosed with or reported to have malaria, an 8.3% increase from the 36 cases identified in 2022. Over half of the malaria cases in 2023 were caused by Plasmodium falciparum (53.8%; n=21) followed by unspecified types of malaria (35.9%; n=14) and P vivax and other Plasmodia (5.1%; n=2 each ). Malaria cases were diagnosed or reported from 22 different medical facilities: 18 in the U.S., 2 in Germany, 1 in Africa, 1 in South Korea. Of the 33 cases with known locations of diagnoses, 6 (18.2%) were reported from or diagnosed outside the U.S.
