Transmission Risk from Imported<i>Plasmodium vivax</i>Malaria in the China–Myanmar Border Region

Abstract

Malaria transmission has been prevented in 3 border villages in Tengchong County, Yunnan Province, China, by use of active fever surveillance, integrated vector control measures, and intensified surveillance and response.
