In the 1800s, malaria was a widespread and deadly disease, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. It was poorly understood, with its transmission linked to stagnant water, but the role of mosquitoes as vectors was not established until later. The disease caused significant morbidity and mortality, affecting both soldiers and civilians, particularly during conflicts and in colonial settings. Efforts to combat malaria during this period were largely ineffective, as there were no effective treatments or preventive measures available until the 20th century.

Where did malaria star?

Malaria has been infecting humans for at least 50,000 years, and may have existed as a pathogen in other species for even longer. For this reason it is impossible to know where the first cases of malaria appeared. While the earliest references to a malaria-like illness come from China, that is by no means an indication that malaria originated in Asia.
