Random Mosquito Quote

Lately, however, on abandoning the brindled and grey mosquitos and commencing similar work on a new, brown species, of which I have as yet obtained very few individuals, I succeeded in finding in two of them certain remarkable and suspicious cells containing pigment identical in appearance to that of the parasite of malaria. As these cells appear to me to be very worthy of attention … I think it would be advisable to place on record a brief description both of the cells and of the mosquitos.

— Sir Ronald Ross, In ‘On Some Peculiar Pigmented Cells Found in Two Mosquitoes Fed on Malarial Blood’, British Medical Journal (18 Dec 1897), 1786. Ross continued this study and identified how malaria was transmitted.
