Description:

A cluster of 22 imported malaria cases, 21 caused by Plasmodium falciparum, was observed among illegal Chinese immigrants in northern Italy in the summer of 2000.

Recognition of the outbreak was delayed because no regional alert system among infectious diseases hospitals was in place.
