Abstract: Malaria has always been an important public health problem in Brazil. The early history of Brazilian malaria and its control was powered by colonisation by Europeans and the forced relocation of Africans as slaves. Internal migration brought malaria to many regions in Brazil where, given suitableAnopheles mosquito vectors, it thrived. Almost from the start, officials recognised the problem malaria presented to economic development, but early control efforts were hampered by still developing public health contr… Show more

“…cruzii females and other anophelines during malaria epidemics period that reached the cities of Blumenau, Joinville, and Florianopolis in the 1940s (Smith 1952). Plasmodium falciparum was considered eliminated in the southeastern Atlantic forest after the malaria eradication programme in the 1950-60s (Gadelha 1994, Griffing et al 2015. A long gap lasted for approximately 40 years (1970 -2010) in when P. falciparum circulation had not been documented in this region.…”

“…burden was so high that governments of endemic countries began to take serious control measures instigated by the Global Malaria Eradication Program (GMEP). In Brazil, transmission decreased after an intense eradication campaign that included chloroquine treatment of infected humans and control of Kerteszia mosquitoes by rapid bromeliad destruction (Griffing et al 2015). During this elimination phase in the Atlantic forest, chloroquine resistance plus vector persistence in forest fragments resulted in residual malaria, known as the bromeliad-malaria paradigm (Gadelha 1994).…”

“…The low number of cases reported in the 1960s was restricted to small villages; this scenario changed in the late 1970s due to a massive migration into the Amazon region promoted by the Federal Government during the military dictatorship 4,5…”

“…The strengthening of malaria control actions during the Global Malaria Eradication Campaign in the 1950–1960s achieved transmission interruption in the south and northeastern regions of the country 3. In the late 1960s, malaria incidence fell below 53,000 cases per year, with almost all of them in the northern region 4. Vastly covered by the Amazon rainforest, this territory was characterized by very low population densities and limited mobility between scattered villages, explaining both the low number of cases and even lower presumed fatality rate, attributed to acquired immunity of those populations during that period 4,5…”
