BBC: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Frankfurt Airport worker has died of malaria after a rare outbreak led to six employees contracting the serious infection spread by mosquitoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is believed the mosquitoes arrived at Germany’s busiest airport on a plane, according to German public health officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The remaining five infected individuals are receiving medical treatment, a spokesperson for airport operator Fraport said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Traps have been installed at the airport and mosquitoes captured will be analysed in a laboratory to determine their species and origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Sadly, we must confirm that one employee has died as a result of the infection,” the Fraport spokesperson told the BBC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We have provided comprehensive information to all employees and encourage them to consult a doctor if they experience any symptoms.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was reported in July that the outbreak involved four infected workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Robert Koch Institute – a German federal government agency and research institute for disease control and public health – previously said the four employees fell ill between 4 and 6 July and the mosquitoes were brought in by plane.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
