From Nick CurreyAbout the film:
One of a series of films looking at important medical breakthroughs first published in the British Medical Journal, or BMJ. Series presented by British neurobiologist Sir Colin Blakemore.
'For this installment of the series we travel to the tropics to look at the beginning of our understanding of malaria.

He worked closely with Ronald Ross, who went on to win the Nobel Prize for medicine for his work on malaria'.
