529. The Ague: A History of Indigenous Malaria in Cumbria and the North
£8.50
Ian D. Hodkinson
Ague or marsh fever is a disease transmitted by female blood sucking mosquitoes that bred in shallow stagnant water. During the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries it was endemic in the English fenlands and the coastal marshes of Kent and Essex and was recorded spasmodically from scattered locations elsewhere in Britain. Drainage of wetlands for agriculture, changing land use and the discovery of quinine as an effective treatment led to its eradication from most areas by the late nineteenth century. It was a disease that disappeared before its true nature was known. . . . more
