New figures from the Health Protection Agency show that there were 1758 cases of malaria reported in UK travellers in 2006.
Eight of these cases were fatal.
1386 of the cases were due to the potentially fatal Plasmodium falciparum which is a major international health risk and which kills more than a million people a year in Africa. 219 were due to Plasmodium vivax which causes a debilitating disease, but is rarely fatal.
Where the reason for travel is known, 57% of the malaria cases reported in the UK were in people visiting friends and relatives in the tropics.
