===Malaria experiments=== From about February 1942 to about April 1945, experiments were conducted at the Dachau concentration camp in order to investigate immunization for treatment of [[malaria]]. Healthy inmates were infected by [[mosquitoes]] or by injections of extracts of the [[mucous gland]]s of female mosquitoes.
