Abstract

In the last 3 years, the malaria situation has considerably improved in the CIS countries: Three CIS countries, such as Turkmenistan, Armenia, and Kazakhstan, received the malaria-free status (in 2010, 2011, and 2012, respectively) confirmed by the WHO certificate; Azerbaijan, Kyrgyz Republic, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan are in the elimination period. Despite the continuing intensive migration of CIS citizens to Russia, its malaria situation has been favorable, which is associated with the significant reduction of imported infection cases among migrants.
