  abstract = {{T}he occurrence of {P}lasmodium vivax malaria was reported in {N}ouakchott, {M}auritania in the 1990s. {S}everal studies have suggested the frequent occurrence of {P}. vivax malaria among {N}ouakchott residents, including those without recent travel history to the southern part of the country where malaria is known to be endemic. {T}o further consolidate the evidence for {P}. vivax endemicity and the extent of malaria burden in one district in the city of {N}ouakchott, febrile illnesses were monitored in 2012-2013 in the {T}eyarett health center. {T}he number of laboratory-confirmed {P}. vivax cases has attained more than 2,000 cases in 2013. {M}alaria transmission occurs locally, and {P}. vivax is diagnosed throughout the year. {P}lasmodium vivax malaria is endemic in {N}ouakchott and largely predominates over {P}lasmodium falciparum.},
