I am going to point out that in the prewar period the public health campaigners and local governments of the United States made up their mind to eradicate malaria once for all by environmental engineering which aimed to eliminate breeding grounds of Anophelets to lower the population of the mosquitoes as well as the infection rate of malaria. The know-how of mosquito control helped the United States army check the spread of malaria among their solders when the supply of antimalarials were seriously curtailed because of the war. In comparison with the United States, Imperial Japan put great effort to find out malaria carriers for whom taking quinine regularly was compulsory. China, though barely developed any measures to fight malaria before the war, also relied on quinine or other traditional medicine to constrain the spread of malaria. Since quinine, as well as synthetic antimalarials available during that time, neither prevent people from getting infected by malaria nor cure Plasmodium falciparum malaria, the deadliest kind of malaria prevailing the Pacific region, troops of Imperial Japan and China, both of whom had no malaria control measures other than quinine, therefore experienced the full power of the deadly malaria, which obviously led to their military defeat in the war.奎寧金雞納樹石油瘧蚊軍醫quininecinchonapetroleumAnopheletsmilitary medicine學術論文
