[2] During his posting, he worked on his research from a laboratory in the old Begumpet military hospital building.
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.

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 ...
Ronald Ross discovered its transmission by mosquito in 1897. Giovanni Battista Grassi elucidated the complete transmission from a female anopheline mosquito to humans in 1898. In 1897, William H. Welch created the name Plasmodium falciparum, which ICZN formally adopted in 1954. P. falciparum assumes several different forms during its life cycle.
