Sir Ronald Ross KCB KCMG FRS FRCS [1] [2] (13 May 1857 – 16 September 1932) was a British medical doctor who received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on the transmission of malaria, becoming the first British Nobel laureate, and the first born outside Europe.
According to Manson, malaria was transmitted from human to human by a mosquito. [7] [8] The theory was scientifically proved by Manson's confidant Ronald Ross of the Indian Medical Service in the late 1890s. Ross discovered that malaria was transmitted by the biting of specific species of mosquito. [9]
He was appointed CMG in 1953, and elected a Fellow of the college in 1955. In 1954 he received the Darling Foundation Medal and prize from the World Health Assembly in Geneva for his studies on epidemiology and control of malaria. Ronald Ross and Macdonald are credited with developing a mathematical model of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission ...
In the early 20th century, William Hamer [5] and Ronald Ross [6] applied the law of mass action to explain epidemic behaviour. The 1920s saw the emergence of compartmental models. The Kermack–McKendrick epidemic model (1927) and the Reed–Frost epidemic model (1928) both describe the relationship between susceptible , infected and immune ...
World Mosquito Day, observed annually on 20 August, is a commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross's discovery in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans. [1] Prior to the discovery of the transmitting organism, vector, there were few means for controlling the spread of the disease although the discovery of ...
This model was for the first time proposed by William Ogilvy Kermack and Anderson Gray McKendrick as a special case of what we now call Kermack–McKendrick theory, and followed work McKendrick had done with Ronald Ross. [citation needed] This system is non-linear, however it is possible to derive its analytic solution in implicit form. [7]
The first major discovery of a disease vector came from Ronald Ross in 1897, who discovered the malaria pathogen when he dissected the stomach tissue of a mosquito. [ 4 ] [ 5 ] Arthropods
Laveran was a supporter of the mosquito-malaria theory [4] developed by British physician Patrick Manson in 1894, and experimentally proved by Ronald Ross in 1898. [8] Based on this medical development, he reported malaria condition of Corsica in 1901 urging the need for eradication and control of mosquitos.
