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/13/92
Level	Item
Title	Letter
Date	10/5/1898
Description	His supply of infected birds has ceased and that he is working on his report for R Harvey. He has only just received Manson's letter of 9th April (Ross/12/42) and agrees that his work should be put on a broader footing as the mosquito-malaria theory is proved. The work involved, especially as he is expected to investigate kala-azar, is too much for one man. Lists other diseases which should be investigated, says that the Indian Medical Service administration should be thoroughly reformed and outlines the ways in which it should be done. The Indian Princes' Institute is 'hanging fire', the Pasteur Institute is intended for bacteriologists and that he needs an assistant to carry on with malaria if he has to study kala-azar.
