Fatal Malaria in the U.S. More Common Than Previously Known
Hospital data suggests that some immigrants from Africa and the Caribbean, thinking they are still immune, do not take precautions on home visits.https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2620631/

Abstract
Naturally acquired immunity to falciparum malaria protects millions of people routinely exposed to Plasmodium falciparum
infection from severe disease and death. There is no clear concept
about how this protection works. There is no general agreement about the
rate of onset of acquired immunity or what constitutes the key
determinants of protection; much less is there a consensus regarding the
mechanism(s) of protection. This review summarizes what is understood
about naturally acquired and experimentally induced immunity against
malaria with the help of evolving insights provided by biotechnology and
places these insights in the context of historical, clinical, and
epidemiological observations. We advocate that naturally acquired
immunity should be appreciated as being virtually 100% effective against
severe disease and death among heavily exposed adults. Even the
immunity that occurs in exposed infants may exceed 90% effectiveness.
The induction of an adult-like immune status among high-risk infants in
sub-Saharan Africa would greatly diminish disease and death caused by P. falciparum.
The mechanism of naturally acquired immunity that occurs among adults
living in areas of hyper- to holoendemicity should be understood with a
view toward duplicating such protection in infants and young children in
areas of endemicity."
