Giovanni Battista Grassi
Giovanni Battista Grassi is an Italian physician and zoologist, famous for his pioneering work in parasitology, in particular on malaria. He was Professor of Comparative Zoology at the University of Catania from 1883 and Professor of Comparative Anatomy at the Sapienza University in Rome from 1895 until his death. His scientific contributions include the embryonic development of honey bees, helminth parasites, vine phylloxera, eel migration and metamorphosis. He was the first to describe and establish the life cycle of the human malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, and discovered that only female Anopheles mosquitoes were capable of transmitting the disease. His work on malaria remains a nagging controversy in the history of the Nobel Prize, as British military surgeon Ronald Ross, who discovered malaria parasite transmission in birds, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1902
