Background. In 2010, malaria caused approximately 216 million infections in people and 655,000 deaths. In the United States,
imported malaria cases occur every year, primarily in returning travelers and immigrants from endemic countries. In 2010, five
Plasmodium falciparum malaria cases occurred among crew members of one US commercial airline company (Airline A). This
investigation aimed to assess the malaria prevention knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of Airline A crew members to
provide information for potential interventions.
