Sumario:WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) was the most widely distributed and major human malaria parasite in China, considered the last parasite to be eliminated. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The last domestic P. vivax case was reported in 2016, while hundreds of imported cases were reported annually from 2013–2020, predominantly from Southeast Asia. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? In the post-elimination phase, adaptive and practical strategies focusing on imported P. vivax cases should be updated and adopted to prevent malaria resurgence.
