But according to this site:

mosquito-born malaria did exist in England historically and would have been around at the time of the Brontes, but how many deaths can be attributed to this is in doubt.

Back in those long ago days there were a lot of bugs (not all of them insects) that preyed unchecked on us poor human beings so I wouldn't doubt that Malaria could have been just about anywhere it's warm enough for mosquitoes to live.
