Summary/Abstract: Malaria is a life-threatening disease spread to humans by some types of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. The infection is caused by a parasite. It is mostly found in tropical countries. Poland has been transformed from endemic country with huge epidemics (up to the middle of 60th years of the 20th century) into the country with sporadic imported malaria cases. The evolution of some attempts to improve the Malaria situation in Poland in the years 1939–1967 is reviewed with particular reference to the situation in occupied and immediately post-war Poland.
