World Mosquito Day- 2022
Mosquitoes, those tiny blood-sucking insects, are responsible for transmitting serious diseases such as Malaria. World Mosquito Day honors the date when Sir Ronald Ross, a British army surgeon working in India, proved that mosquitoes transmit Malaria. This discovery revolutionized our knowledge of the disease and led to new preventive measures. Ross won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902. Ross declared the first World Mosquito Day then and there, stating that the world must be made aware of the link between mosquitoes and malaria.
