Yes, Malaria.

An English professor, according to Current Literature, has advanced the theory that the cause of the fall of Greece was not luxury, but malaria, which became endemic. He accounts for all the failures and aberrations of philosophy in that way. Parallel is also drawn with our age, which is called “neurasthenic, diabetic, and organically disordered by derangements of one kind and another,” and is subject to as great delusions and “psychical eccentricities” as was Socrates. Yes, there was malaria, there is malaria, but it was and is the malaria of sin.
