    TUNIS, July 17 (Xinhua) -- Tunisia's Health Minister Abdellatif Mekki said Wednesday that four cases of malaria have been reported in the capital Tunis.

    The four infected are currently under treatment, Mekki said, adding that an investigation was launched to determine the causes of the disease.

    According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malaria was eradicated in Tunisia in 1979. However, there have been reports of a number of imported cases each year.
