Malaria was derived from an Italian word meaning “bad air” since it was deemed that it started from the wind in the swamps and rivers. It was during the 1880’s and 1900’s that a lot of scientists made a lot of extensive research about it. There are about 40% of the population in the world that is vulnerable to malaria especially those that are living in tropical regions. By the 20th century, it was largely eradicated in the countries were there is much humid season. It was because of the advent of DDT together with other repellants such as organochlorine.
