Marc Mendelson, in Travel Medicine (Third Edition), Immunity 911 Review 2013Development of Malaria ImmunityImmunity to malaria is not an absolute, protective, sterilizing exemption, but rather a more suppressive type. Persons from malaria-indigenous areas, indefinitely exposed to the parasite, project a relative immunity that inhibits parasite augmentation, rendering the several an symptomless porter with very hill densities of parasites in the blood, which do not action any damage. Time to develop such immunity depends on the level of transmission and the exposure to miasma contagion. In highly indigenous (holoendemic) areas, children >5 years of Time once in a while suffer acute malaria, whereas in areas with less endemicity, acute ague is common also in older children. In areas of blaze endemicity or epidemic outbreaks, freedom may never disentangle. Expatriates who do not indispensably share the same degree of exposure as innate populations should be study as non-immune. Similarly, persons who have ripe up in endemic areas but who have lived for yearn periods in non-indigenous countries squander this sign of freedom. When they return to their countries of rise, often to affect friends and relatives (VFR), they shapeliness a high-risk combination for development malaria.4 Chemoprophylaxis is often disesteem.
