Ross, macdonald, and a theory for the dynamics and control of mosquito-transmitted pathogens.

Ronald Ross and George Macdonald are credited with developing a mathematical model of mosquito-borne pathogen transmission. A systematic historical review suggests that several mathematicians and scientists contributed to development of the Ross-Macdonald model over a period of 70 years. Ross develo...
