===Malaria===
A French Army physician [[Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran]] discovered that [[malaria]] was caused by microscopic parasite (now called ''[[Plasmodium falciparum]]'') in 1880. But scientists were sceptical until Golgi intervened. It was Golgi who helped him prove that malarial parasite was a microscopic [[protozoan]]. From 1885, Golgi studied the malarial parasite and its transmission. He established two types of malaria, tertian and quartan [[fever]]s caused by ''[[Plasmodium vivax]]'' and ''[[Plasmodium malariae]]'' respectively.<ref>{{cite journal|author=Golgi C. |title=Sul ciclo evolutivo dei parassiti malarici nella febbre terzana : diagnosi differenziale tra i parassiti endoglobulari malarici della terzana e quelli della quartana|trans-title=On the cycle of development of malarial parasites in tertian fever: differential diagnosis between the intracellular parasites of tertian and quartant fever|journal=Archivio per le Scienza Mediche|volume= 13|pages=173–196|year= 1889}}</ref> In 1886, he discovered that malarial fever ([[Paroxysmal attack|paroxysm]]) was produced by the asexual stage in the human blood (called erythrocytic cycle, or Golgi cycle).<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Antinori|first1=Spinello|last2=Galimberti|first2=Laura|last3=Milazzo|first3=Laura|last4=Corbellino|first4=Mario|title=Biology of human malaria plasmodia including ''Plasmodium knowlesi''|journal=Mediterranean Journal of Hematology and Infectious Diseases|date=2012|volume=4|issue=1|pages=2012013|doi=10.4084/MJHID.2012.013|pmid=22550559|pmc=3340990}}</ref> In 1889–1890, Golgi and [[Ettore Marchiafava]] described the differences between benign tertian malaria and malignant tertian malaria (the latter caused by ''P. falciparum''). By 1898, along with [[Giovanni Battista Grassi]], [[Amico Bignami]], [[Giuseppe Bastianelli]], [[Angelo Celli]] and Marchiafava, he confirmed that malaria was transmitted by [[Anopheles|anopheline]] mosquitoes.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Cox|first1=Francis EG|title=History of the discovery of the malaria parasites and their vectors|journal=Parasites & Vectors|date=2010|volume=3|issue=1|pages=5|doi=10.1186/1756-3305-3-5|pmid=20205846|pmc=2825508 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
