To understand the epidemiological trend of imported malaria and its monitoring and control effect in Yancheng City from 2011 to 2015, so as to provide the evidence for adjusting the prevention and control strategy. The data of malaria surveillance, epidemic, prevention and control were collected and analyzed in the districts and counties of Yancheng City from 2011 to 2015. From 2011 to 2015, there were 104 imported malaria cases reported, and the most cases (52 cases, 50%) were reported from Jianhu County. Most of the cases were males (only 2 females), the average age was 38.8 years, and the occupation was mainly labor service worker abroad (94 cases, 97%). The infection source of these cases mainly came from Africa. From 2011 to 2015, 151 980 fever patients received malaria blood tests, and the positive rate was 0.07%. Falciparum malaria cases were the most (90 cases, 86.5%). The confirmed diagnostic rate of malaria within 24 hours increased year by year. All the 104 patients received the standardized treatment. There are no local malaria cases in Yancheng City from 2011 to 2015, and in the next stage, the monitoring and prevention should be focused on imported malaria, including shortening the confirmed diagnostic time and improving the diagnostic efficiency.
