This article considers the problem of malaria in the Korean peninsula from 1876
to 1945, focusing particularly on the impact of Japanese colonial rule. One
aspect which receives special attention is malaria in urban contexts. The
relationship between malaria and urbanisation is shown to be extremely complex,
fluctuating regardless of specific interventions against the disease. In rural
and urban areas, Japanese antimalarial measures concentrated on military
garrisons, at the expense of both civilian settlers and Koreans. However, it was
Koreans who bore the brunt of the malaria problem, which was exacerbated in many
areas by agricultural and industrial development and, ultimately, by the war
regime introduced from 1938. The worsening of the malaria burden in the final
years of Japanese rule left a legacy which lasted long after independence.
