Kraljevina Jugoslavija v boju proti malariji
The Kingdom of Yugoslavia in the Struggle Against Malaria

Summary/Abstract: The present contribution focuses on the problem of malaria in the Yugoslav state between the world wars. Malaria was one of the diseases that the new country had to deal with in the afermath of World War I. Although the disease had already been endemic in parts of the future common state before the war, it developed into an epidemic in some places during and afer the war. The present contribution mainly provides an insight into the parts of Yugoslavia afected by malaria and the measures that the state implemented against it. It also highlights the consequences of the disease but does not provide a deeper insight into the social and economic consequences of malaria at this stage, mainly due to the lack of resources. Such questions call for future research work in the various Yugoslav archives, which the author is unable to undertake at the time.
