Yes, there are cases of malaria in the United States. Occasionally a person brings malaria back to the United States from a foreign country. That happened in West Palm Beach a few years ago. Normally, when that happens a major effort is made to eradicate the mosquitoes in the immediate area. All standing water is removed. Bird baths are emptied. Sometimes outside spraying is begun. Sometimes oil is put on any ponds in the area. Mosquitoes are wiped out in the immediate vicinity. The malaria is treated aggressively with drugs.
