  abstract = {{S}ince 1969, 63 cases of airport malaria have been reported in {W}estern {E}urope, 24 of which occurred in {F}rance. {M}ost were due to #{P}lasmodium falciparum$. {I}n 1994, 7 cases occurred in and around {R}oissy {C}harles de {G}aulle airport ({CDG}), showing 4 types of contamination : among employees working on airstrips or opening containers, among residents living near the airport, among people living at some distance from the airport after a secondary transport of vectors, and by vectors transported in luggage. {I}n-flight or stop-over infection is not considered as airport malaria. {T}he infective anophelines originated from airports where malaria transmission occurs, mostly in subsaharan {A}frica. {A} tentative list is given taking into account aerial traffic with {F}rance. {S}urveys in the airports of {D}akar ({S}enegal), {C}otonou ({B}enin), {A}bidjan ({C}ote d'{I}voire) and {Y}aound{\'e} ({C}ameroun) found potential vectors in all of these from {J}uly to {S}eptember. {A}fter 1994, the {C}ontr{\^o}le {S}anitaire aux {F}ronti{\`e}res ({CSF}) in charge at {CDG} concentrated its efforts on the flights at risk, as well as information and sensitization of airline companies, which resulted in 73% and 87% of the flights at risk being properly disinsected in 1995 and 1996. {D}espite pyrethroid resistance in #{A}nopheles gambiae$ s.s. in {W}est {A}frica, the efficacy of aircraft spraying with permethrin aerosols is still acceptable. {H}owever, surveillance of resistance should be improved and search for nonpyrethroid insecticides suitable for aircraft strongly encouraged.
