DESCRIPTION:The history of malaria in northern Europe still isn’t clearl
 y understood. The focus in previous literature has been on its demographic
  mark on northern European societies in the early modern period. By the en
 d of the eighteenth century\, it is said to have become less lethal\, but 
 its final disappearance only took place at the turn of the twentieth centu
 ry\, by when it was considered benign. This late phase has remained overlo
 oked due to the absence of a noticeable demographic mark and the absence o
 f malarial deaths. This paper addresses this unique period in malaria’s 
 history through the case of Denmark\, where physicians and surgeons since 
 1862 had been required to report disease notifications\, which allows us t
 o examine when and why it disappeared.\n\nJoin us on Zoom:\n\nhttps://cam-
