  • The Pioneers of Australian Military Malariology: Some Biographical Profiles (Part 1)
    History The Pioneers of Australian military malariology: Some biographical profiles (Part 1) Ian Howie-Willis Abstract Australian military malariology has a long but discontinuous history extending back to the Boer War and possibly earlier. Its origins could possibly have been in the Sudan campaign (1885) and more certainly in the second Boer War (1899–1902) in the years before the establishment of the Australian Army. The discipline has continued, increasingly purposefully during the past half-century, to the present. The continuing struggle of the Australian Defence Force against malaria is now led by the Australian Army Malaria Institute (AAMI), the forerunner of which, the 1st Malaria Research Laboratory (1MRL), was founded in June 1966. The Army’s anti-malaria effort has typically been led by officers of the Royal Australian Army Medical Corps; however, particular distinguished civilian malariologists have also influenced the directions taken by Australian military malariology. This article is the first in a proposed series that will trace the careers of about 20 Australian malariologists who have made significant, pioneering contributions to the development of their discipline. As the AAMI will be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the formal establishment of the 1MRL on 14 June 2016, such a series is timely. Later articles in the series will demonstrate how the AAMI has grown from humble, even inauspicious origins as the 1MRL to become a leading malariological research agency. Introduction One way of conceptualising the development of Australian malariology is to view it through a Malariology was a late developing discipline in ‘biographical prism’, that is to trace the growth of the Australia.

  • The White Man in the Tropics
    The White Man in the Tropics Dr Russell McGregor Lecture presented by Dr McGregor at CitiLibraries - Thuringowa 6 October 2008 SIR ROBERT PHILP LECTURE SERIES Number 5 6 October 2008 2 In 1925, when he published The White Man in the Tropics , Raphael West Cilento was a young man of 32 (born in 1893) with an already impressive list of medical qualifications and achievements. Having graduated with First Class Honours at the Medical School of the University of Adelaide, he served as a captain in the Australian Army Medical Corps in the former German New Guinea during the First World War. After the war, he was appointed medical officer in the Federated Malay States, based at Teluk Anson (1920-21). Whilst there, in 1921, he was visited by Dr J.S.C. Elkington, Director of Quarantine in the Commonwealth Department of Health, who offered him a position as Medical Officer for Tropical Hygiene at the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine in Townsville. Before taking up the Townsville position, he attended the London School of Tropical Medicine, where he took the Diploma of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene. On his return to Australia he was appointed Director of the Australian Institute of Tropical Medicine, a position he held until 1928. According to Cilento’s unpublished autobiography, shortly before leaving London he was asked by an academic from the School of Tropical Medicine, Dr Philip Manson- Bahr: “And what would you say is the vital problem on which you will spend the life you are now beginning?” “Populating tropical Australia” I said at once, to which, with a chuckle, he replied: “Not alone, I hope.” and waved his hand in farewell.
