Timeline of malaria

For a comprehensive treatment of the subject, see History of malaria.

Malaria is an infectious disease caused by a parasite, it is spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. Every year, 300 to 700 million people get infected. Malaria kills 1 million to 2 million people every year. 90% of the deaths occur in Africa.[1]

Chronology

Year/period Event
Prehistory (from Jurassic period to Paleolithic) The origin of malaria dates back to a very early time in a warm and humid Africa, being present long before the whole timeline of development of apes. However, it wouldn't infect humans until much later after the Upper Paleolithic, when sizable groups of humans facilitate the spread of the disease.[2]
Ancient history Through Ancient Egypt and Middle East, malaria spreads further and is recognized in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire. It is implied in the decline of some great civilizations. Malaria also spreads into India and China, where real treatments begin to merge.[2]
Middle Ages In Europe, witchcraft and astrology thrive around the treatment during this period.[3] Malaria is attributed to a 'bad air', hence the term mal aria (from Medieval Italian)
1600s Malaria reaches the Americas through Spanish colonization. The native population in Peru makes use of bark of the cinchona tree for treating fever.[4] After its discovery by the Spanish, the bark is brought to Europe where it comes into general use.[4][5] [6][7]
1700s The cinchona bark from South America is established as a major cure for fever.[8]
1800s Parasites are first identified as source of malaria. First drugs are developed.
1900s First antibiotics. Increasing scientific research leads to rapid advance of drugs and modern treatments. Successful eradications take place in this period.
1940s–1950s Eradication of malaria in Europe and North America becomes successful, mainly due to the massive use and proven effect of insecticide DDT.[9][10]
1970s–1990s The malaria situation deteriorates in the 70s. Reduced control measures between 1972 and 1976, due to financial constraints, lead to a massive 2-3 fold increases in malaria cases at a global level. Concerns about the potential harmful side-effects of insecticide DDT provoke its ban across many countries, raising controversy and an arguably huge number of preventable deaths in the developing world.[11][12]
1990s–2000s The World Health Organization starts to investigate artemisinin and its derivatives, finally promoting them on a large scale in the 2000s.[13]
2000–2015 Malaria incidence among populations at risk (the rate of new cases) falls by 37% globally.[1]

1886 Science development (symptoms) Italian neurophysiologist Camillo Golgi shows that there are at least two forms of malaria, one with tertian periodicity (fever every other day) and one with quartan periodicity (fever every third day). Golgi also observes that the two forms produce differing numbers of merozoites (new parasites) upon maturity and that fever coincide with the rupture and release of merozoites into the blood stream. Camillo Golgi is awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1906.[19][17]

1992 Program launch New Global Malaria Control Strategy is launched. Endorsed by a ministerial conference on malaria control, it is later confirmed by the World Health Assembly in 1993. This new strategy is based largely upon the primary health care approach and requires flexible, cost-effective, sustainable, and decentralized programs based upon disease rather than parasite control, adapted to local conditions and responding to local needs. This approach becomes succesful and has positive impact in a number of countries such as Brazil, China, Solomon Islands, Philippines, Vanuatu, Vietnam, and Thailand. Its success demonstrates that malaria can be controlled by locally and currently available tools.[43] Worldwide
