Experimental Inoculation of Malarial Fever

were found, we see that the fever came on in one case 22 days after the first bite, and in the other about 15 days after the first bite. It may be said by those who are opposed to the mosquito theory that the fact that the attacks of fever came after the mosquito bites was entirely accidental. This was the objection raised against the cases which were experimented on in Italy. We have carefully examined the blood in every case that has been admitted for fever while these experiments were being carried on, and out of a population of 1,200 (odd) there were only two other cases admitted for Benign Tertian. If the fever in these two cases were not the result of the mosquito bite would it not be curious that out of seven individuals who were bitten by mosquitoes two should get Benign Tertian fever, while only two other cases occurred among about 1,200 men ?
