New cases of malaria affect more than one hundred million people each year, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. But with global warming, the distribution of mosquito vectors in changing and whole populations are at increasing risk. Alphonse Laveran first demonstrated the parasitic nature of malaria in 1880. Within twenty year the role of mosquitoes in transmission had been worked out by Ronald Ross. This first translation of the two scientists' correspondence ask whether the world has let them down, failing to translate their findings into "straightforward action." Edwin R. Nye was born in Belgium and received his early education in France. He taught at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine before joining the staff of the Otago Medical School. He holds an ONZM for services to medicine and the community. He is the co-author with Mary Gibson of Ronald Ross: Malariologist and Polymath: A Biography .
