Abstract
Background: istan and Balouchestan province is one of areas in Iran that have the highest malaria incidence. We have tried to investigate the epidemiology of malaria in this province.

Results: In our study Plasmodium vivax was the most type of malaria. Malaria incidence was more in men and rural than female and urban. 22.7% of all cases were foreigners. Malaria incidence has had two picks.
