Difference between History of malaria and Mosquito-malaria theory

History of malaria vs. Mosquito-malaria theory

The history of malaria stretches from its prehistoric origin as a zoonotic disease in the primates of Africa through to the 21st century. Mosquito-malaria theory (or sometimes mosquito theory) was a scientific theory developed in the latter half of the 19th century that solved the question of how malaria was transmitted.
