Malaria was likely present in the Americas long before Columbus' arrival. Evidence from early European writings and skeletal remains with characteristic bone changes suggest that malaria or a similar disease was endemic in native populations. While controversy remains around its exact pre-Columbian distribution, it appears malaria was well established in much of the Americas and Caribbean at the time of their "discovery".
