A worker at Frankfurt Airport has died after contracting malaria, with six confirmed cases reported in total. Authorities are investigating the source of the infection, believed to be transmitted by mosquitoes. Myggfällor (mosquito traps) have been deployed throughout the airport to identify the origin of the mosquito population and determine how the infection spread. This represents a rare instance of local malaria transmission within Europe. The case has raised concerns about potential public health risks and the possibility of established mosquito breeding grounds near the airport. Further investigation is underway to prevent additional infections and ensure the safety of airport staff and travelers. Health officials are working to contain the outbreak and mitigate any further spread.
