Did you know ...
that today is World Mosquito day?
World Mosquito Day, observed annually on August 20, is a commemoration of British doctor Sir Ronald Ross's discovery in 1897 that female mosquitoes transmit malaria between humans.Ross is responsible for the annual observance, having declared shortly

holds Mosquito Day celebrations every year, including events such as
parties and exhibitions.
