"Malaria is more 'endemic' than 'pandemic' in its character, but for that very reason it may be the most significant of all maladies in terms of its effects on human history. The presence of slavery in the New World, the American victory in the Revolution and the European conquest of Africa have all been decisively influenced by malaria and its treatment. These are some of the stories we will tell in this session, which concerns a disease that still kills hundreds of thousands of people every year."
