Who doesn't enjoy a good, healthy salad (Jell-O packed with canned fruit, colored marshmallows, and pretzels) or perhaps some cod soaked in drain cleaner as the highlights of Christmas? Only later did it dawn on him that perhaps this was just a ""little"" strange, but by then it was far too late: he was hooked and a dyed-in-the-wool Scandinavian himself.

It was the cause of low productivity, poverty, and economic backwardness, while it also stunted literacy, limited political participation, and undermined the army. In this book Frank Snowden recounts how Italy became the world center for the development of malariology as a medical discipline and launched the first national campaign to eradicate the disease. Snowden traces the early advances, the setbacks of world wars and Fascist dictatorship, and the final victory against malaria after World War II. He shows how the medical and teaching professions helped educate people in their own self-defense and in the process expanded trade unionism, women's consciousness, and civil liberties. He also discusses the antimalarial effort under Mussolini's regime and reveals the shocking details of the German army's intentional release of malaria among Italian civilians-the first and only known example of bioterror in twentieth-century Europe. Comprehensive and enlightening, this history offers important lessons for today's global malaria emergency. 606 $aMalaria$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMalaria$xTreatment$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aMosquitoes$xControl$zItaly$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory 615 0$aMalaria$xTreatment$xHistory 615 0$aMosquitoes$xControl$xHistory 676 $a614.5/32/00945 700 $aSnowden$b Frank M$g(Frank Martin),$f1946-$0140560 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777779903321 996 $aThe conquest of malaria$93785719 997 $aUNINA
