Malaria capers...




I should mention that yesterday we paid homage to the Scot Sir Ronald Ross, who of course proved the link between anopheles mosquitoes and the transmission of the malaria virus. This plaque is in the grounds of a Calcutta hospital, on the spot where Ross's laboratory stood. We took along the Malaria Giant Microbe to visit his nemesis!

Thanks for your homage to Dr Ross. Calcutta also has a memorial dedicated to Ronal Ross. Here are the links
