Excerpt: ... rendered its pestilential manifestation impossible, by suppressing one of the conditions essential to its development--that is, the immediate contact of the infected earth with the air. But if that contact be accidentally restored in any way, as, for example, by an excavation made in hot weather, and when the soil is damp, the three conditions necessary for the multiplication of the malarious ferment become once more re-established, and we have the unpleasant surprise of experiencing an outbreak of malaria in places which had previously been rendered salubrious. Notwithstanding this, however, those atmospheric sanitations, provided they be continually kept up, are amongst the most efficacious; and by their means the city of Rome will become free of malaria throughout all those parts which do not immediately adjoin the surrounding Campagna. The great benefits already realized are a good reason for entertaining this confidence, bearing in mind, moreover, that those benefits accrued independently of any hydraulic improvements made in the Agro; for in reality, until 1884 none had been made. The remarkable sanitation already produced in Rome between 1870 and 1884 is due to the gradual keeping down of the autochthonous malaria of the city, and to no other cause. It is not possible to form an opinion on the actual malarious production, in the different portions of the Agro, with the same accuracy as we can, in the various districts of Rome. We know that throughout the whole extent of the Agro, malaria prevails; but whether there be some exceptionally healthy spots, such as the Viminal was before 1870 in Rome, it is impossible to determine with any certainty. It is possible to draw up a malaria map of Rome, because in Rome, everywhere, we have, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Malaria and Rome is the first comprehensive study of malaria in ancient Italy since the research of the distinguished Italian malariologist Angelo Celli in the early twentieth century. It demonstrates the importance of disease patterns and history in understanding the demography of ancient populations. Robert Sallares argues that malaria became increasingly prevalent in Roman times in central Italy as a result of ecological change and alterations to the physical landscapesuch as deforestation. Making full use of contemporary sources and comparative material from other periods, he shows that malaria had a significant effect on mortality rates in certain regions of Roman Italy.Robert Sallares incorporates all the important advances made in many relevant fields since Celli's time. These include recent geomorphological research on the evolution of the coastal environments of Italy that were notorious for malaria in the past, biomolecular research on the evolution of malaria, ancient DNA as a new source of evidence for malaria in antiquity, the differentiation of mosquito species that permits understanding of the phenomenon of anophelism without malaria (where theclimate is optimal for malaria and Anopheles mosquitoes are present, but there is no malaria), and recent medical research on the interactions between malaria and other diseases.The argument develops with a careful interplay between the modern microbiology of the disease and the Greek and Latin literary texts. Both contemporary sources and comparative material from other periods are used to interpret the ancient sources. In addition to the medical and demographic effects on the Roman population, Malaria and Rome considers the social and economic effects of malaria, for example on settlement patterns and on agricultural systems. Robert Sallares also examinesthe varied human responses to and interpretations of malaria in antiquity, ranging from the attempts at rational understanding made by the Hippocratic authors and Galen to the demons described in the magical papyri.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than 50 years, low-cost antimalarial drugs silently saved millions of lives and cured billions of debilitating infections. Today, however, these drugs no longer work against the deadliest form of malaria that exists throughout the world. Malaria deaths in sub-Saharan Africaâ€"currently just over one million per yearâ€"are rising because of increased resistance to the old, inexpensive drugs. Although effective new drugs called "artemisinins" are available, they are unaffordable for the majority of the affected population, even at a cost of one dollar per course. Saving Lives, Buying Time: Economics of Malaria Drugs in an Age of Resistance examines the history of malaria treatments, provides an overview of the current drug crisis, and offers recommendations on maximizing access to and effectiveness of antimalarial drugs. The book finds that most people in endemic countries will not have access to currently effective combination treatments, which should include an artemisinin, without financing from the global community. Without funding for effective treatment, malaria mortality could double over the next 10 to 20 years and transmission will intensify.

Book excerpt: During the last 1500 years, Rome was the inspiration of artists, the coronation stage of German emperors, the distant desire of pilgrims, and the seat of the Roman popes. Yet Rome also lies within the northern range of P. falciparum malaria, the deadliest strain of the disease, against which northern Europeans had no intrinsic or acquired defenses. As a result, Rome lured a countless number of unacclimated transalpine Europeans to their deaths in the period from 500 to 1850 AD. This book examines how Rome's allure to European visitors and its resident malaria species impacted the historical development of Europe. It covers the environmental and biological factors at play and focuses on two of the periods when malaria potentially had the greatest impact on the continent: the heyday of the medieval German Empire and its conflicts with the papacy (c. 800-1300) and the Protestant Reformation (c.1500). Through explorations into the history of religion, empire, disease, and culture, this book tells the story of how the veritable capital of the world became the graveyard of nations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How devastating viruses, pandemics, and other natural catastrophes swept through the far-flung Roman Empire and helped to bring down one of the mightiest civilizations of the ancient world Here is the monumental retelling of one of the most consequential chapters of human history: the fall of the Roman Empire. The Fate of Rome is the first book to examine the catastrophic role that climate change and infectious diseases played in the collapse of Rome’s power—a story of nature’s triumph over human ambition. Interweaving a grand historical narrative with cutting-edge climate science and genetic discoveries, Kyle Harper traces how the fate of Rome was decided not just by emperors, soldiers, and barbarians but also by volcanic eruptions, solar cycles, climate instability, and devastating viruses and bacteria. He takes readers from Rome’s pinnacle in the second century, when the empire seemed an invincible superpower, to its unraveling by the seventh century, when Rome was politically fragmented and materially depleted. Harper describes how the Romans were resilient in the face of enormous environmental stress, until the besieged empire could no longer withstand the combined challenges of a “little ice age” and recurrent outbreaks of bubonic plague. A poignant reflection on humanity’s intimate relationship with the environment, The Fate of Rome provides a sweeping account of how one of history’s greatest civilizations encountered and endured, yet ultimately succumbed to the cumulative burden of nature’s violence. The example of Rome is a timely reminder that climate change and germ evolution have shaped the world we inhabit—in ways that are surprising and profound.

Book excerpt: **The instant New York Times bestseller.** *An international bestseller.* Finalist for the Lane Anderson Award Finalist for the RBC Taylor Award “Hugely impressive, a major work.”—NPR A pioneering and groundbreaking work of narrative nonfiction that offers a dramatic new perspective on the history of humankind, showing how through millennia, the mosquito has been the single most powerful force in determining humanity’s fate Why was gin and tonic the cocktail of choice for British colonists in India and Africa? What does Starbucks have to thank for its global domination? What has protected the lives of popes for millennia? Why did Scotland surrender its sovereignty to England? What was George Washington's secret weapon during the American Revolution? The answer to all these questions, and many more, is the mosquito. Across our planet since the dawn of humankind, this nefarious pest, roughly the size and weight of a grape seed, has been at the frontlines of history as the grim reaper, the harvester of human populations, and the ultimate agent of historical change. As the mosquito transformed the landscapes of civilization, humans were unwittingly required to respond to its piercing impact and universal projection of power. The mosquito has determined the fates of empires and nations, razed and crippled economies, and decided the outcome of pivotal wars, killing nearly half of humanity along the way. She (only females bite) has dispatched an estimated 52 billion people from a total of 108 billion throughout our relatively brief existence. As the greatest purveyor of extermination we have ever known, she has played a greater role in shaping our human story than any other living thing with which we share our global village. Imagine for a moment a world without deadly mosquitoes, or any mosquitoes, for that matter? Our history and the world we know, or think we know, would be completely unrecognizable. Driven by surprising insights and fast-paced storytelling, The Mosquito is the extraordinary untold story of the mosquito’s reign through human history and her indelible impact on our modern world order.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation presents a study of malaria's ancient epidemiology in Roman central Italy. While current evidence indicates that malaria was present in Italy during the Roman period, little work has been done regarding malaria's impact on and interaction with Romans and Roman society overall. This is largely due to the presumed inability of this evidence to specify where and to what degree the disease was present in antiquity. In this dissertation I address this evidentiary constraint by reconceptualizing the focus of research, considering both the context of the disease and the disease as context. To do this, I combine spatial epidemiological theories and methods with close analysis of paleo-environmental data, ancient texts, and material remains to learn how the environment, human practices, and artifacts bounded malaria's distribution, affected its prevalence, and ultimately exposed people in the past to this disease. In this way, I build a model of ancient malaria transmission risk, with major emphasis placed on the unfolding entanglement between malaria and Roman villa estates between 200 BCE and 500 CE. In Chapter One, all current evidence for malaria in the ancient Roman world is categorized according to the ability of each to support a malaria identification. Chapter Two outlines this dissertation's theoretical framework and method, central to which is the idea that landscapes of disease and disease exposures therein are the emergent outcome of the interdependent activity between the social world of humans and the material world of living and non-living things. In Chapter Three, GIS software is used to create suitability maps of relative malaria transmission risk in Roman central Italy. These maps reflect temperature's effect on the development and activity of mosquitoes and malaria parasites. In Chapter Four, the risk maps created in the previous chapter are juxtaposed with a geodatabase of 501 central Italian villa estates datable between 200 BCE and 500 CE. This juxtaposition discloses a tension that has not been satisfactorily considered in studies of Roman central Italy: growth and activity despite malaria's concurrent presence and naturally high risk of transmission. This tension is reconciled in the final two chapters. Chapter Five explores the potential for villa estate agricultural practices to effectively control malaria transmission. Chapter Six explores how the artifacts of those practices impacted their effectiveness in terms of malaria control, as well as the ways in which these artifacts themselves promoted malaria exposure as they fell into disrepair and dilapidated. This dissertation reveals that the Romans, although unaware of malaria's etiology, very likely incidentally reduced the risk of its transmission by embracing intensive farming practices, attentive local reclamation, and the employment of artifacts that curtailed substantive contact between susceptible human hosts and infected mosquito vectors. At the same time, this dissertation indicates that malaria's entrenchment within Italy, lasting until its elimination in the middle 20th century, was in part a consequence of the breakdown of those very same artifacts and practices that, for a time, curtailed its transmission.
