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

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.[2] Malaria infection in humans from parasite plasmodium falciparum is thought to have been originally caught from gorillas.[3]
Ancient history Malaria is already known throughout the era of the Roman Empire,[4] Ancient Egypt and the Indian subcontinent.[5] In Ancient Greece, Hippocrates already writes a description of the disease.[6] Malaria is also known to exist in Ancient China.[7] Antimalarial artemisinin is described.[8]
Middle Ages In Europe, witchcraft and astrology thrive around the treatment during this period.[9] Malaria is attributed to a 'bad air', hence the term mal aria (from Medieval Italian).[10]
1500s–1600s Malaria reaches the Americas through Spanish colonization. The native population in Peru makes use of bark of the cinchona tree for treating fever.[11] After its discovery by the Spanish, the bark is brought to Europe where it comes into general use.[11][12][13][14]
1700s The cinchona bark from South America is established as a major cure for fever in the Western World.[15] Malaria spontaneously begins to disappear in Europe.[16]
1800s Parasites are first identified as source of malaria.[17]
1900s Increasing scientific research leads to rapid advance in the knowledge of malarial parasites and the development of drugs, such as chloroquine, mefloquine and pyrimethamine. Antibiotics are also developed. DDT insecticidal properties are discovered.[18] Early eradications are achieved in the first half of the century.[19]
1940s–1950s Massive use and proven effect of insecticide DDT frees Europe and North America from malaria.[20][21]
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.[22][23]
1990s–2000s The World Health Organization starts to investigate artemisinin and its derivatives, finally promoting them on a large scale in the 2000s.[24]
2000–2015 Malaria incidence among populations at risk (the rate of new cases) falls by 37% globally.[1]

An efficient organization of 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.[43] Italy

2008 Program launch The United Methodist Church launches comprehensive anti-malaria campaign Imagine No Malaria, with aims at raising $75 million "to empower the people of Africa to overcome malaria’s burden".[154][155] United States
2008 Program launch The Global Malaria Action Plan (GMAP), developed by the Roll Back Malaria Partnership, is launched at the 2008 MDG Malaria Summit on September 25.[156]:2[157] United States (New York City)
2008 Program launch The Government of Indonesia launches a national campaign against malaria, aiming for the country to become malaria-free by 2030.[158] Indonesia
2009 Organization The African Leaders Malaria Alliance (ALMA) is founded by African Heads of State to use their individual and collective power to keep malaria high on the political and policy agenda.[159][160] Africa
2011 The World Health Organization grants Armenia malaria-free status.[161] Armenia
2012 Organization The Malaria Eradication Scientific Alliance (MESA) is formed to conduct research on malaria elimination.[162][163] Spain
2012 Program launch Target Malaria is launched as a not-for-profit research consortium with aims at reducing the population of malaria-transmitting mosquitoes in sub-Saharan Africa by developing and sharing technology for malaria control. Target Malaria investigates the use of genes that produce enzymes, and explores different strategies to use them in order to reduce or modify populations of Anopheles mosquitoes. Target Malaria is funded by many organizations, including Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the European Commission, and the National Institutes of Health.[164][165] Teams in Burkina Faso, Mali and Uganda
2014 Organization EVIMalaR is conducted as a malaria research network. Funded by the European Commission and involving at least 62 partners from 51 institutes.[166][167][168] Europe, Africa, India and Australia.
2013–2015 Organization Dundee University establishes a center for development of drugs. A new anti-malaria drug is obtained.[169][170] United Kingdom (Dundee)
2015 Scientific development Researchers at University of California campuses in Irvine and San Diego announce they could possibly eliminate malaria using the CRISPR technology to start a gene drive in mosquitos.[171] United States
2015 Report The World Health Organization calculates 212 million cases of malaria occurring worldwide during the year, and 429,000 deaths, mostly young children.[172]
2015 Scientific development International research team, using DNA sequencing, manages to assess the extent to which geographical barriers in the Amazon rainforest affect genetic variation among malaria vector Anopheles darlingi populations.[173] Amazon basin
