...Anopheline mosquito bites a person and injects the malaria organism, a protozoon about one-fifth the size of a red blood cell. The protozoon gets into a red cell where it grows and reproduces (by subdivision) until it literally bursts its host. Its offspring invades other cells. While the protozoa are in their reproductive stage, the typical chills & fever of malaria develop. Quinine is a poison for malaria organisms. It kills them while they are in the blood cells (except when they are reproducing). Thus quinine is a specific antidote for malaria...

...pond animal life reproduced at the Museum there are water fleas, protozoa (single-celled animals), insect larvae, and rotifers. The rotifers, most interesting, give their name to the entire exhibit. The commonest kinds are shaped like tops. The rotifer head is round and surrounded at the flat shoulder with fine cilia which vibrate (in life) so rapidly one after another around the circle of shoulder that the whole body seems to rotate. They are voracious and pugnacious, crouching on a microscopic plant and then swiftly springing at a stray water flea, a protozoa, a bit of leaf...
