Best Answer

Hippocrates, a physician born in ancient Greece was the first to describe manifestations of the disease and relate them to the time of year and area where the patients lived when contracting the disease. However, the discovery of the protozoal cause of malaria wasn't discovered until 1889 by Alphonse Laveran.

Malaria is one of the most ubiquitous diseases known--there are more than 125 different species of malaria that infect mammals, birds and reptiles, which indicates an early origin. It has probably afflicted humans throughout our evolutionary history, although the first historical reports of symptoms that match those of malaria date back to the ancient Egyptians (around 1550 B.C.) and the ancient Greeks (around 413 B.C.). These early descriptions noted the association between fevers and wet ground. In fact, the word "malaria" actually derives from the Italian for "bad air"-- the mal'aria associated with marshes and swamps.
