“…The majority of the affected people acquired the infection in African countries (National Center of Communicable Diseases Prevention and Control 2009; National Center of Communicable Diseases Prevention and Control 2010; Neghina et al 2010a). A detailed comparative analysis of two interesting cases hospitalized in western Romania is made in a previous report of ours (Neghina et al 2008a).…”

Intestinal parasitic diseases such as enterobiasis, giardiasis, and ascariasis are detected most frequently in Romania, but their importance is definitely surpassed by trichinellosis, cystic echinococcosis, and toxoplasmosis. Malaria was common until its eradication in 1963, and only imported cases are reported nowadays. The aim of this review was to bring together essential data on the epidemiology and history of human parasitoses in Romania. Information on 43 parasitic diseases was collected from numerous sources, most of them unavailable abroad or inaccessible to the international scientific community. Over time, Romanian people of all ages have paid a significant tribute to the pathogenic influences exerted by the parasites. Sanitary and socio-economical consequences of the parasites diseases have great negative impact on the quality of life of affected individuals and the overall well-being of the population. Implementation of efficient public health measures and informative campaigns for the masses as well as changing the inadequate habits that are deeply rooted in the population are mandatory for cutting successfully this Gordian knot.

“…The presence of the Anopheles vector, belonging to the Anopheles maculipennis complex, and the existence of the malaria agent in nature with imported malaria cases, as well as the increase in temperatures, are favourable factors for the reemergence of malaria in Romania [13, 14]. All cases of malaria diagnosed in Romania have been “imported,” increasing continuously because of the development of tourism and the labour market in malaria-endemic areas [15–17]. The studies carried out by us in Iaşi, Romania, reported the presence of five species of mosquitoes belonging to the Anopheles maculipennis complex: A. atroparvus, A. melanoon, A. maculipennis , A. labranchiae, and A. messeae , species incriminated in the transmission of malaria in Europe.…”

The climatic modifications lead to global warming; favouring the risk of the appearance and development of diseases are considered until now tropical diseases. Another important factor is the workers' immigration, the economic crisis favouring the passive transmission of new species of culicidae from different areas. Malaria is the disease with the widest distribution in the globe. Millions of people are infected every year in Africa, India, South-East Asia, Middle East, and Central and South America, with more than 41% of the global population under the risk of infestation with malaria. The increase of the number of local cases reported in 2007–2011 indicates that the conditions can favour the high local transmission in the affected areas. In the situation presented, the establishment of the level of risk concerning the reemergence of malaria in Romania becomes a priority.
