German malaria research during the colonial period took place between medical and political interests. In the field of zoological and clinical research of malaria Germany was not a pioneer. Nevertheless, Robert Koch forced by impressive Italian results tried to participate in malaria research on the field of acquired malaria immunity and by optimizing the therapeutic doses of quinine in German New Guinea. In the German Cameroons, on the other hand, the fight against malaria was completely dominated by racial and political arguments. The paper tries to shed light on this dichotomy, which turned out to be not very productive.
殖民时期德国的疟疾研究是在医学利益和政治利益之间进行的。在疟疾的动物学和临床研究领域，德国并非先驱。然而，受意大利令人瞩目的研究成果驱使，罗伯特·科赫试图参与后天疟疾免疫领域的疟疾研究，并在德属新几内亚优化奎宁的治疗剂量。另一方面，在德属喀麦隆，抗击疟疾完全被种族和政治因素主导。本文试图阐明这种二分法，事实证明其成效并不显著。
