Book excerpt: Excerpt from Washington Medical Annals, Vol. 1: Bimonthly Journal of the Medical Society of the District of Columbia; March, 1902 Of course, we must constantly bear in mind that a certain ele vation of temperature is necessary at all seasons and in all places to keep alive and preserve the activity of inoculating mosquitoes, both in temperate and tropical regions but farther than this the role of temperature in the production of fever would seem to have been overestimated. If heat per se were so important an etiological factor, we ought to find, in malarial localities, that persons exposed to great heat, as the workers about iron furnaces and factories, the firemen and stokers of engines and steamships, &c., would be more liable to the disease than others not so exposed. The cook, stewing over her fire, should be more liable than the chambermaid and coach man. But there is no evidence to this effect.
