TitleLetter from Robert Koch to Ross
Date15/5/1901
DescriptionHe adds that he first considered the possibility of the mosquito carrying malaria when he visited India in 1883-1884 and afterwards mentioned these assumptions in his lectures although he did not publish anything. He first noticed that children develop malaria in endemic areas whilst adults are immune in Java in 1899 and that he cultivated proteosoma in a mosquito in the autumn of 1898 although publication of the results was delayed and he would not challenge Ross' claim to priority. He has told this to a member of the Nobel prize committee.
