Malaria represents one of the leading causes of mortality in tropics, especially in sub-Saharan Africa with more than 1.5 million deaths per a year, mostly in young children. The aim of this review was to provide comprehensive information on the infection, including biology of malaria parasites, clinical presentations of the disease and diagnostic tools. The imported malaria cases to the Czech Republic are summarized. Current therapeutic and profylactic approaches and antimalarial drugs available in the Czech Republic are also reviewed.

Keywords: Key words: malaria, imported malaria, plasmodium, therapy, chemoprofylaxis.
