GB 0809 Ross - Ross, Col Sir Ronald (1857-1932)
- 13 - Letters from Ross to Patrick Manson on Ross' research into the transmission of malaria by mosquitoes

Ref No	GB 0809 Ross/13/75
Level	Item
Title	Letter
Date	14/12/1897
Description	Kherwana is totally unsuitable for malaria research as there are few cases of malaria and it is too cold for mosquitoes to breed or bite. Describes a halteridium he has found in a dead pigeon, says that he will work on them and Haffkine and Owen are unwilling for him to work at the Haffkine Institute in case the mosquito-malaria theory fails, which worries him as they have great influence over the Indian government. Asks Manson to send him a telegram if the Secretary of State for India will not take action, as he must know to apply for leave or not.
