The fever - how malaria has ruled humankind for 500,000 years

Malaria has haunted us since our earliest days. Today, with the death toll showing no signs of slowing, malaria has emerged as a celebrity cause for philanthropists but this pathogen that we've known how to control for more than a century is still infecting five hundred million people every year, and killing nearly one million. This book explores malaria's ascent and the many people who have tried to end it, capturing the history of this long-standing thorn in the side of humanity.
