At the time, the area is still a lot of places are marshy or stagnant water basins become mosquito breeding species of malaria. This mosquito when piercing the skin and sucking human blood, when the piercing and sucking human blood, the mosquito will transmit the protozoa from the body and into the human body.

These protozoa consuming human red blood cells so that the blood cells burst when the body temperature is high heat-shivering bodies and the blood is reduced. These outbreaks can be prevented if people consume the bitter quinine. Not because of the bitterness but protozoa in human blood cells will die with substance quinine from the cinchona. Human need for quinine when it is so much so that the Dutch took the initiative to produce the malaria drug quinine and established the factory in the city of Bandung.
