- 12 - Letters from Patrick Manson to Ross on Ross' research into the transmission of malaria by mosquitoes

Title	Letter
Date	20/4/1897
Description	Manson says that he would like to stain the flagella forms of quartan and benign tertian malaria in order to see if there are 'distinguishing differences' but his opportunities are few. While conducting the postmortem of a filariasis patient who had committed suicide he discovered that the filaria go into the lungs and arteries when they leave the peripheral circulation in the daytime and that he has discovered filaria in the blood of Indians from Demerara which might be a connection with a case of sleeping sickness which he had heard of.
