The challenge of mosquitoes and malaria to early settlers of Michigan was profound. Alexis de Tocqueville, who visited Michigan in July of 1831, commented a number of times as to how burdensome the mosquitoes were. The state of Michigan was known to early 19th cnetury Americans as as area profuse with swamps, disease and other hardships. Malaria was so widespread throughout the regions that all expected to suffer from it and is was viewed as less a disease than simple a reality of life. During ths webinar, Doctor Carl Doud, Director of Midland County Mosquito Control will discuss the history of malaria in Michigan and efforts to reduce the mosquito burden.
