Third person dies after mosquito is reportedly trapped on plane to Germany in 'airport malaria' phenomenon

Three people have died from malaria after a mosquito was transported aboard a flight to Germany, according to reports.

Several people were rushed to a hospital amid a rare outbreak of the tropical disease following flights to Frankfurt, The Sun reported. 

It was unclear where the flights departed from.

The third person, a resident of Schwanheim, just north of the airport, died recently. In August, an airport worker also died from the disease. Neither had traveled to a malaria-endemic region.
