The year 1898 was one of the most significant years in the history of malariology. One hundred years later scientists gathered at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei, Rome, to commemorate the Malariology Centenary. This paper provides a short overview of some of the key developments and discoveries in malaria research which took place at the end of the 19th century. The major contributions of Alphonse Laveran, Patrick Manson, Ronald Ross, Battista Grassi and a number of scientists of the Italian School of Malariology to the understanding of the transmission of malaria by Anopheles mosquitoes are described. This paper also highlights the importance of an historical perspective in furthering our understanding of the 'Malaria Challenge after One Hundred Years of Malariology'.
1898年是疟疾学史上最重要的年份之一。一百年后，科学家们齐聚罗马的国家科学院，纪念疟疾学百年诞辰。本文简要概述了19世纪末疟疾研究中的一些关键进展和发现。文中描述了阿尔方斯·拉韦朗、帕特里克·曼森、罗纳德·罗斯、巴蒂斯塔·格拉西以及意大利疟疾学派的一些科学家在理解按蚊传播疟疾方面所做的主要贡献。本文还强调了历史视角对于深化我们对“疟疾学百年后的疟疾挑战”理解的重要性。
