Malaria: The Disease That Shaped History


Listen Later

Malaria is one of the oldest known infectious diseases, with a history spanning thousands of years. It has shaped human civilization, influenced wars, and driven scientific advancements in medicine and public health.

However, humanity has been making strides against this ancient disease over the last 250 years. We have learned what causes it and how it is transmitted, and we might be close to eradicating it completely.

Learn more about malaria, how it has impacted humanity, and the quest to eliminate it in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
