Questions
1. a breakthrough in the theory of the cause of malaria
Select
A. In malarial zones the life expectancy of land workers was a terrifying 22.5 years. Those who escaped death were weakened or suffered from splenomegaly—a ‘painful enlargement of the spleen’ and ‘a lifeless stare’. B. Italian scientists, drawing on the pioneering work of French doctor Alphonse Laveran, were able to predict the cycles of fever but it was in Rome that further key discoveries were made. Giovanni, a naturalist, found that a particular type of mosquito was the carrier of malaria. C. War, from 1915–18, delayed the campaign. Funds were diverted to the battlefields and the fight against malaria was not the priority anymore. D. Shamefully, the Italian malaria expert Alberto Missiroli had a role to play in the disaster: he did not distribute quinine, despite being well aware of the epidemic to come. He allowed the epidemic to spread, in order to create the ideal conditions for a massive, and lucrative, human experiment. E. Malaria is a disease that affects every level of the societies where it is rampant. It also provides us with “a message of hope for a world struggling with the great present-day medical emergency”.
