World Mosquito Day 2025
 |
It is an August 20 happening annually in commemoration of a Brit doctor named Sir Ronald Ross who discovered in 1897 that female anopheline mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.
Before this controlling the spread of malaria was impossible though the discovery of quinine in treatment had alleviated the problem of treatment.
So all in all it's a good thing but I dare say that we who spend the bulk of our day indoors sitting at a computer have little to fear from malaria vectors anyway.
Happy World Mosquito Day.
