History
Malaria and Edinburgh have a long association. This was marked most notably by the announcement by Patrick Manson (a Scotsman), at a meeting of the British Medical Association in Edinburgh in July 1898, of the discovery by Ronald Ross (also a Scotsman) of the mosquito cycle of the malaria parasite. The Nobel Prize awarded in 1902 to Ross for this discovery is now displayed in the Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh.
