Ross, Ronald

Alphonse Laveran, a French Army physician working in North Africa in the 1880s, was the first to observe malarial parasites in human blood. Their mode of transmission was not understood, however, until Ronald Ross, a British medical officer in India, found the organisms within the bodies of Anopheles mosquitoes. Malaria is caused by four species of parasitic protozoa Plasmodium vivax, P. ovale, P. malariae, satid P. falciparum. These organisms have complex life cycles involving several different developmental stages in both human and mos-...

It was only at the end of the twentieth century that the cause of malaria was understood Sir Ronald Ross won the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1902 for his work on malaria. 

Ultimately, with the dawn of second-generation pesticides, the tide turned away from biological control agents toward the chemical control of insect pests. Interestingly, it was not an agricultural crop, but rather a pubhc health discovery that led the way. Sir Ronald Ross, a British doctor who allowed an Anopheles mosquito to feed on a malaria patient, observed the malaria parasite in the gut of the...
