by William Henry Samuel Jones

It remains a landmark study of the disease's historical and cultural significance. Jones' meticulous research offers a comprehensive understanding of the prevalence of malaria in ancient times, as well as its impact on society, politics, and the economy.

This book is a valuable resource for historians, public health professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of medicine and history. It offers insights into the impact of a neglected disease on ancient civilizations and the importance of public health interventions in combating such illnesses. In addition, "Malaria: A Neglected Factor in the History of Greece and Rome" has contemporary relevance, as malaria remains a major public health threat in many parts of the world. The book serves as a reminder of the importance of ongoing efforts to combat the disease and highlights the critical role that history can play in informing current public health policies.
