evidently the mosquito’s were rebels and only bit the Brit’s and Germans? So I guess it wasn’t Nathanael Greene, Daniel Morgan, and Francis Marion after all. (BTW Morgan contracted malaria in SC, forcing him to retire from command),
I didn’t read the entire article, but perhaps the locals to the region had contracted malaria several times during their lives while living there and so were immune to its effects, while the Brits were not.
Although many of the Americans were from up north and came with Washington, so I suppose they got it as well.
