CDC’s Malaria Control Program

The CDC’s Malaria Control Program works to prevent and reduce malaria cases in the U.S. through surveillance, education, and preparedness. It monitors imported cases, educates healthcare providers and the public about prevention and symptoms, and collaborates with global partners to support malaria control efforts worldwide. The program ensures that travelers and healthcare practitioners have the necessary information and resources to prevent infection and respond effectively, ultimately aiming to protect public health and prevent local transmission of this mosquito-borne disease.
