A rare form of malaria transmission, known as airport malaria, has resulted in the deaths of two workers. They were among six employees who became infected, reportedly after a mosquito was brought into the country on an aircraft. The company operating the airport where the workers were employed expressed shock and sadness at the loss of their colleagues.

The four other employees who contracted the disease have recovered. The incident highlights the rare but potential risk of malaria transmission in this manner. Further details about the incident are available from the airport operator and other sources.

The cause of the infection is believed to be a mosquito that survived a flight from a malaria-endemic country, leading to the spread of the disease among the airport workers.
