Humanity s Burden provides a panoramic overview of the history of
malaria. It traces the long arc of malaria out of tropical Africa
into Eurasia, its transfer to the Americas during the early years
of the Columbian exchange, and its retraction from the middle
latitudes into the tropics since the late nineteenth century.
Adopting a broadly comparative approach to historical patterns and
processes, it synthesizes research findings from the natural and
social sciences and weaves these understandings into a narrative
that reaches from the earliest evidence of malaria infections in
tropical Africa up to the present. Written in a style that is
easily accessible to non-specialists, it considers the significance
of genetic mutations, diet, lifestyle, migration, warfare,
palliative and curative treatment, and efforts to interrupt
transmission on the global distribution of malaria.
