EDITORS COMMENTS
Quina, Cinchona calisaya: A Botanical Treasure in the Fight Against Malaria This stunning chromolithograph depicts Quina, or Cinchona calisaya, a plant that has played a significant role in the history of medicine. Discovered in the Andes Mountains of South America in the 17th century, Quina bark was first used by indigenous people to alleviate fever symptoms. European explorers later identified it as an effective treatment for malaria, a disease that had been plaguing Europeans in the colonies. The botanical illustration, created by Walther Muller for Hermann Adolph Koehler's Medicinal Plants, edited by Gustav Pabst, provides a detailed and accurate representation of the Quina plant. The vibrant colors and intricate details showcase the beauty and complexity of this important medicinal plant. Quina contains alkaloids, including quinine, which interfere with the malaria parasite's ability to invade red blood cells. Quinine was the first effective treatment for malaria and remained the primary therapy until the mid-20th century. Today, it is still used to treat malaria in certain circumstances, and derivatives of quinine are used to treat other conditions, such as leg cramps and certain heart rhythm disorders. This historical image serves as a reminder of the importance of botanical discoveries in the development of medical treatments. The Quina plant, with its rich history and medicinal properties, continues to be a valuable resource in the fight against malaria and other diseases.
