While some areas remain affected, the 20th century witnessed amazing pr ogress in understanding and finding ways to combat Malaria, through medicin e, education, and by targeting the transmitting mosquitos. Indonesia played a critical part in this history, not just because its many victims, but al so due to the role of researchers like Swellengrebel, and Java’s role as th e primary source of cinchona bark out of which quinine was produced.\n\nThe histories of Malaria are not merely the scientific advances of Dutch and I ndonesian researchers. Such an important disease naturally produced a numbe r of interlaced histories, but which have rarely been explored, and never b rought together. The Cinchona bark produced in Java was important not merel y for quinine, but for health tonics and other\nmedicines, and it was also a part of Japan’s global wartime international relations. Medicines produce d during the colonial period and during the wartime period changed—even the variety and dosages of quinine—changes which potentially have important co nnections to medical supply, distribution, wartime priorities, as well as n ew public health strategies. Medicine and Javanese quinine was even a part of Japanese “soft-culture” literary publishing, while and\nmedical educatio n in territories under its control experienced great changes. Too much rema ins unknown—even the importance of mosquito coils—but with the president of Kincho dying in a plane crash in Singapore in late 1942, we can be sure th at “Obat Njamoek Tjap Ajam” was a part of both public health and popular cu lture.\n\nCentering on Indonesia, this panel will bring together discussion s of medical and more “social” aspects of Malaria around the 1940s to deepe n our knowledge of the interactions between medicine and society.
