法兰克福机场两名员工因疟疾感染死亡

德国法兰克福机场发生疟疾感染事件，导致至少两名员工死亡 1。罗伯特·科赫研究所指出，共有六名未前往疟疾风险国家的机场员工感染，并在7月4日至6日期间发病 1。首例死亡发生在7月，第二例发生在8月，其余四名感染者目前正在康复 1。此次感染疑由航班携带的受感染按蚊传播所致 1。

法兰克福卫生当局负责人彼得·蒂内曼（Peter Tinnemann）表示，蚊子可能已经死亡，不存在人传人风险 1。目前，法兰克福机场已安装捕蚊装置，并对捕获的蚊子进行基因分析 1。法兰克福机场上一次记录的机场疟疾病例发生在2023年 1。

At least two employees at Frankfurt Airport have died after contracting malaria in 2026, with the first fatality occurring in July and the second in August 1. A total of six staff members were infected with the disease despite not having traveled to any malaria-risk countries, and four of them are currently recovering 1. The outbreak is suspected to have been caused by infected Anopheles mosquitoes transported by flights 1. According to the Robert Koch Institute, the infected individuals developed symptoms between July 4 and July 6 1.

Peter Tinnemann, head of the Frankfurt health authority, stated that the mosquitoes are likely already dead, meaning there is no risk of human-to-human transmission 1. In response to the incident, the airport has installed mosquito traps and is conducting genetic analysis on the captured insects 1. The last recorded cases of airport malaria at Frankfurt Airport occurred in 2023 1.
