World Mosquito Day on 20 August first came into being in 1897 when British doctor Sir Ronald Ross made the historic link that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans. Find out more about this pivotal day through our World Mosquito Day film featuring little seen footage of Dr Ross and interviews with some of today’s key players in the fight to make malaria. Their messages bring hope and perspective – making malaria no more in Africa is a genuine possibility. Statistics quoted in A Guide to World Mosquito Day are from 2010 and some have now changed.
