Two German airport workers die of malaria after 'mosquito arrives on plane'

Two employees at Frankfurt Airport have died from malaria after a rare outbreak infected six workers. German health officials suspect the mosquitoes arrived on a plane, marking an unusual case of airport-acquired malaria. Traps have been set, and lab tests are underway to identify the mosquito species and origin. The risk to the general public remains very low, as malaria is not transmitted person-to-person.
