About this title

Synopsis

Why malaria happens—and how to prevent it—in hot climates

A thoughtful, accessible investigation by Charles Frederick Oldham that challenges the idea of a single “malarious poison.” This work explains how climate, nightly chills, and moisture interact to shape disease patterns, offering practical guidance for staying healthy in tropical regions and malarious districts.

The book traces years of observation and inquiry on where malaria thrives, how irrigation and weather affect risk, and why damp, cool nights matter as much as heat. It blends historical notes with modern insight to help readers understand the real forces behind fever and illness in warm environments, without relying on unproven theories.

Gives a clear view of what actually drives malaria-like fevers in hot climates
Explains the roles of temperature, humidity, and moisture in disease risk
Offers practical principles to reduce illness for travelers, soldiers, and settlers in tropical regions
Discusses how weather patterns interact with infrastructure like irrigation and drainage

Ideal for readers of medical history, tropical health, and those planning work or travel in malarious areas.
