Malaria resources exhibition

An exhibition to mark World Malaria Day (25 April) will be on display in the Library exhibition area until the end of the month. The exhibition showcases some of the unique and fascinating items relating to malaria held in the School’s archives and rare books collections. Items on display include: the page from Sir Ronald Ross’ notebook where he made his discovery of the transmission of malaria in man by mosquitoes; extracts from rare books on malaria by Giovanni Grassi and Alphonse Laveran and photographs of malaria investigations and training courses in Palestine, Malaysia, Panama, Nigeria and Putney Heath!
