Malaria: A Neglected Factor in the History of Greece and Rome

William Henry Samuel Jones

Published in 1930, 'Malaria: A Neglected Factor in the History of Greece and Rome' by William Henry Samuel Jones examines the impact of malaria on ancient civilizations. The book argues that malaria, unlike sudden plagues, gradually weakened populations, contributing to the decline of both Greece and Rome. Jones compiles evidence from medical authorities, historical texts, and literature to illustrate how this endemic disease played a significant role in the downfall of these empires, highlighting the importance of addressing malaria in public health.
