most memorable research was when he was researching filaria which is a small worm that causes elephantiasis. Elephantiasis is when the lymphatic vessels in a limb such as an arm or a leg to becomes blocked causing large swelling which makes the limb enlarged. Obviously, elephantiasis was possibly a very large issue and for him to research this disease had to have been very beneficial to society. He researched most everything that he could about these parasites and found that they were only present during the night and not the day. Along with that, he researched mosquitoes and their contributing factors to spreading diseases such as filaria. He theorized that most mosquitoes were hosts for many diseases and this theory was tested. Sir Ronald Ross, another medical officer, was the one to confirm that this theory was correct. This is an incredibly important discovery Manson also discovered many other parasite related diseases such as sparganosis, an infection caused from ingestion of water contaminated with this parasite. There is another parasitologist though that came close to being Patrick Manson’s equal and that is Giovanni Grassi. He was also a pioneer in parasitology as well as Manson but lacked the skill set that Patrick Manson had acquired. He did though, the same as Manson, study mosquitoes.
