| 1883 < || Program launch || An Italian program called Bonifica is launched as a set of traditional approach to ‘fevers’, being introduced to deal with land reclamation from water. The program would merge as a long-term anti-malaria project, consisting primarily in agricultural reclamation of large areas of land, upon which peasants can be settled permanently; and secondly, in the provision of these areas of progressive arrangements for adequate medical attention in sickness. An efficient organization of {{w|quinine}} administration is put in place in 1900, and is referred to as ‘Human Bonifica’. Local anti-larval measures are called ‘Small Bonifica’. The program would continue throughout the first half of 20th century.<ref name="The interaction of scientific evidence and politics in debates about preventing malaria in 1925"/> || {{w|Italy}}

|1886 || Science development (symptoms) || Italian neurophysiologist [[wikipedia:Camillo Golgi|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 [[wikipedia:Apicomplexan life cycle|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 [[wikipedia:Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine|Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine]] in 1906.<ref name="The History of Malaria, an Ancient Disease">{{cite web|title=The History of Malaria, an Ancient Disease|url=http://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/history/|publisher=[[wikipedia:Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|Centers for Disease Control and Prevention]]|accessdate=23 November 2016}}</ref><ref name="Kill or Cure: An Illustrated History of Medicine" />||[[wikipedia:Italy|Italy]]
