Abstract

IN NATURE of April 29, p. 549, Sir E. Ray Lankester criticises an obituary notice on Sir Patrick Manson which appeared in the Times of April 10. The statement chiefly objected to is that “modern tropical medicine was born the day that Manson discovered the part played by the mosquito in the transmission of Filaria sanguinis hominis.” But all parasitologists know that it was Manson who, fortyfour years ago, proved by experiment the part played by mosquitoes in the propagation of filariasis. This discovery is not only the pride of tropical medicine, but the very breath of modern medicine and one of the most glorious achievements of British science.
