Sir Ronald Ross Institute - Begumpet T he building was built before 1895 and is a historically significant site. The building has survived many transitions : first as a military hospital, then as an officers mess and eventually as T he Institute of Malarial studies, Osmania University. Sir ( Colonel ) Ronald Ross discovered the medical link between mosquito and malaria, while working as a military doctor. The building is a typical military structure of that period with a linear, large multipurpose central hall / walls and verandahs on either side. The building was constructed with not great quality bricks and mud mortar, lime plastered and white washed and has a timber framed tiled roof. The floors may have been of large granite slabs in all the rooms, but perhaps had been over time replaced with IPS/ kadappa/ and even mosaic tiles, to have a functionally adoptive modern floor. The pictures below show the condition of the building before the job was undertaken and after the final completion of the restoration work.

En 1902 el fue designado a un Companero de la Orden mas honorable del Bano por Su Majestad al Rey de Gran Bretana. En 1911 el fue elevado a la fila del Comandante de Caballero de la misma Orden. En Belgica, el fue hecho a un Oficial en la Orden de Leopold II. Durante esta carrera activa, el interes de Ross se pone principalmente en la iniciacion de medidas para la prevencion de malaria en paises diferentes del mundo. El realizo revisiones e inicio esquemas en muchos sitios, incluso el Oeste Africa, la zona de Canal Suez, Grecia, Mauricio, Chipre, y en las areas afectadas por la 1914-1918 guerra. El tambien inicio organizaciones, que han demostrado ser bien establecidas, para la prevencion de malaria dentro de las industrias de plantacion de India y Ceilan. El hizo muchas contribuciones a la epidemiologia de la malaria y a metodos de su revision y evaluacion, pero quizas su mayor era el desarrollo de modelos matematicos para el estudio de su epidemiologia, iniciada en su informe de Mauricio 1.htm

Ronald Ross and the transmission of malaria In 1897, Ronald Ross discovered malarial parasites in mosquitoes. An Indian Medical Service officer, Ross persevered with his research in his spare time, in the face of official indifference that occasionally descended into outright hosy. Mary Gibson examines the events surrounding this seminal discovery. Sir Ronald Ross was born in India - at the hill station of Almora - on 13 May 1857 to a captain in the Bengal Army and his wife. His childhood appears to have been similar to that of most British children in India of the time, which entailed his being sent home to England at the age of eight for his health and education. He did not return to India until 1881 by which time he was medically qualified (MRCS and LSA) and had been commissioned into the Madras branch of the Indian Medical Service. In 1883, after various temporary postings, he was sent as Acting Garrison-Surgeon to Bangalore, which he considered "probably the best station in Southern India". It was in Bangalore that Ross first became interested in the breeding habits of mosquitoes. He discovered that the ones which regularly fed off him while he shared a bungalow with the adjutant were breeding in the water butt under his window, and he conducted his first attempt at mosquito control by overturning the tub. When he suggested to the adjutant that life in the mess would be a good deal more pleasant if there were no water containers in which mosquitoes could breed, his suggestion was treated with derision.

January 2002 Blue Plaques unveiled on campus Sir Ronald Ross was a lecturer at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine when he became the first Briton to win the Nobel Prize for Medicine, in 1902. The following year he was appointed to the Sir Alfred Jones Chair of Tropical Medicine in the University of Liverpool. In his research into the origin of malaria he traced for the first time the mechanism by which the disease is transmitted to man by the anopheles mosquito. This discovery helped to eradicate malaria in temperate climates and saved many millions of lives in the tropics. The plaque was unveiled by his grandson David Ross of Ross, Chief of Clan Ross, on the building in the University Quadrangle where Sir Ronald worked. The Johnston Building (formerly the Johnston Laboratory), opened in 1903 to provide accommodation for Tropical Medicine, Biochemistry and Experimental Medicine and Comparative Pathology. Merseyside was chosen in 2000 for the first English Heritage Blue Plaque scheme outside London. Other Blue Plaques in Merseyside honour: Frank Hornby, toy manufacturer; John Lennon, musician; John Brodie, engineer; Wilfred Owen, poet; Sir Henry Tate, sugar magnate and art collector; and Bessie Braddock MP, trade union activist and politician.

The first commemorates war hero Captain Noel Chavasse, the only man to be twice awarded the military's highest award for valour, the Victoria Cross, in the First World War. The second honours Sir Ronald Ross, who won the Nobel Prize for Medicine for discovering that the mosquito was responsible for carrying malaria. As a surgeon-lieutenant in the First World War, Captain Chavasse rescued wounded men from no-man's land under heavy fire, sometimes just 25 yards from enemy lines. He saved the lives of more than 20 men and was honoured with his first VC. He was awarded the second posthumously after he continued to rescue and treat men during conflict at Wieltje, Belgium, though mortally wounded himself. The plaque was unveiled at 19 Abercromby Square, where he had lived as a boy, by his nephew, Edgar Chavasse.

In 1866 he became medical officer of Formosa (Taiwan) for the Chinese Imperial Maritime Customs, moving to Amoy in 1871. His light duties allowed him to work in local missionary hospitals, in contact with Chinese patients and their diseases and he became aware of the shortcomings of British medical training when faced with tropical diseases. While working on elephantoid diseases in Amoy, he discovered in the tissues of blood-sucking mosquitoes the developmental phase of filaria worms. Seminal papers were published in 1878 and 1878.

Large View Ross, Ronald (1857-1932) Nobel Prize winner in Medicine for his discovery of the cause of Malaria. He was born on 13 May 1857 at Almora, a hill station in the North Western Provinces of British India. His father Sir Campbell Claye Grant Ross was a General in the Indian army and his mother was Matilda Charlotte, eldest daughter of Edward Merrick Elderton, a London Lawyer. At the age of eight Ross was sent to England for education. After completing his early education in two small schools at Ryde, he was sent to a boarding school at Springhill, near Southampton in 1869. Ross was interested in zoology but also wrote verse. In fact, he wanted to become an artist, but his father urged a medical career upon him. Ross, therefore, entered London's St Bartholomew's hospital and then qualified for the Royal College of Surgeons (MRCS) in 1879. After failing once, he became a Licentiate of the Society of Apothecaries (LSA) in 1881. He joined the Indian Medical Service, again at his father's wish. In 1888 he went to England for his first leave and married Rosa Bessie, daughter of Alfred Bradley Bloxam in 1889. Ross retired from the Indian Medical Service in 1899 and returned to England. He became Lecturer at the School of Tropical Medicine at Liverpool (Professor; 1902-1912) and in 1912 moved to London to take up a consulting practice. Much of the rest of Ross' life was occupied with public health programmes for eradication of malaria. He organised and led extensive campaigns against malaria in various countries and wrote a number of tracts including

Fiona Ross-Anderson is the former President of the Inner Wheel Club of Kinross and District and has nominated research into malaria and other parasitic infectious diseases as a major beneficiary of the Club's fundraising events over the past year when she was President. Mrs Ross-Anderson's great-grandfather, Sir Ronald Ross, was the first Scot and first UK subject to receive the Nobel Prize. He received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1902 for his work on malaria. Whilst working in India in the 1890s, Sir Ronald experimented with birds that were sick with malaria and discovered the malarial parasite in the saliva glands of the Anopheles mosquito. From this he was soon able to determine the entire life cycle of the malarial parasite and demonstrated that malaria was transmitted from infected birds to healthy ones by the bite of a mosquito. This discovery suggested how the disease was transmitted to humans and laid foundations for combating the disease.

60. PITCALNIE AND SHANDWICK The chief’s grandfather, sir ronald ross of Shandwick, was a pioneer of modernmedicine who discovered the cause of malaria. He was awarded the Nobel Prize http://www.greatclanross.org/htext7.html

~~~~~~~PITCALNIE~~~~~~~ Captain James Ross succeeded his cousin as eighth of Pitcalnie on June 12, 1818. His sons, (1) James Ross, the ninth of Pitcalnie from 1821 to 1829, and (2) George Ross, the tenth of Pitcalnie, followed in their turn. Their sister Sarah married Donald Williamson in1834, and the line continued through their son, John Hugh Ross Williamson, who had four children with Fanny Georgina Clarke: (1) George Ross Williamson Ross, who became the eleventh of Pitcalnie; (2) Ethel Frances Sarah Williamson Ross, unmarried Chief of Clan Ross as "Ross of Pitcalnie"; (3) Rosa Ross Williamson Ross, twenty-eighth Chief of Clan Ross, and (4) Catherine Evelyn Williamson. Their grandmother was heiress in the line of both Pitcalnie and Ross and, according to Scots Law, it is a legal procedure to take both names. The inter-regnum in the Chiefship from the death of David of Balnagowan in 1711 ended when Miss Sarah Williamson Ross of Pitcalnie presented her claim to the principal arms as chief of Clan Ross, which was upheld by the Lord Lyon in 1903. Clan Ross in North America was founded in New York City in 1910 by a group of prominent Canadians and Americans. The first president was Sir George William Ross, LL.D., former Premier of Ontario. The organization held two well-attended ceilidhs and had made plans for a third in Toronto in 1915, but it was cancelled with the outbreak of World War I. This society never came together again. After the death of Chief Sarah Willamson Ross in 1957, her sister Miss Rosa R. Williamson Ross was designated as chief from 1957 to 1968. After the succession of Miss Rosa Ross of Pitcalnie as chief, the Clan Ross Society in Scotland, was established in the summer of 1958 by Chief Designate of the Clan, Sir Charles Campbell Ross, Q.C., of the Shandwick cadet branch. Major Ross's intent was to keep our Scottish heritage and Clan organizations alive, and to honour our forebearers in Scotland and Canada. Alec Ross, a member of the British Board of Trade, had previously been a member of the Clan Ross Society in Scotland and a meeting of "revitalized founders" of a Clan Ross Society of Canada was held on December 1, 1960 in Montreal. Major James J. "Alec" Ross held the chair as President and Mr. Jack Ross was Secretary Treasurer. Dr. John R. Ross and Mrs. Eila Ross of Toronto joined the new Association at this meeting.
