The cases were the first in 20 years to be acquired in the U.S., with no links to travel outside the country. The last such local cases were identified in 2003 in Palm Beach County, Florida.

Working in a hospital lab in a neighboring county to these cases. We all just had to bust out the malaria testing gear and do our annual training early.

Malaria is prevalent in tropical and sub-tropical areas… of course Texas and Florida are the first places it returns to the US.

Were you expecting it to pop up in Montana?
