| dc.description.abstract | Recognizable descriptions of malaria were recorded in Chinese, Indian, Egyptian and Mesopotamian texts as early as 5,000 years ago. Evidence from human DNA sequences shows the effects of malaria to be far older still, influencing human evolution across tens of thousands of years. It is no exaggeration to say that malaria has played a crucial role in human history, determining the fates of armies and empires. Malaria brought down Alexander the Great and saved Rome from Attila's hordes. Dubbed the 'King of Diseases' in the Vedas, its modern name comes from the Italian peninsula, where mal'aria or 'bad air' was thought to cause the debilitating paroxysmal tertian or quartan (three- or four-day) fevers and febrile deaths that ravaged the populace every year for millennia. | |
