Description	Ross says that the psorosperms he mentioned finding in mosquitoes were indeed psorosperms. He has found them in unfed mosquitoes and gregarines in mosquito pupae primarily a disease of mosquitoes which human beings get accidentally. He says that as gregarines are a common parasite of mosquitoes the two might be related and that malaria could be caused by mosquitoes infecting isolated patches of water. He is very busy and that there is work for three men.
