摘　　要：罗纳德·罗斯是19至20世纪著名病原微生物学家、公共卫生学家。他因发现蚊子是疟疾传播的媒介以及揭示了疟疾传播的完整周期,获得了1902年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖。罗斯将新的发现应用于疟疾控制研究,于世界各地展开疟疾防治运动,推动了公共卫生事业的进步。罗斯开创性地建立疟疾传染的数学模型,推导出可用于一般传染病的微分方程,促进了数理流行病学的发展。Ronald Ross was a famous pathogen microbiologist and public health scientist in the 19th and 20th century.He won the 1902 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his discovery of mosquitoes as vectors of malaria and for revealing the full cycle of malaria transmission.Ross applied his new findings to malaria control research,leading to campaigns around the world that helped advance public health.Ross pioneered mathematical models of malaria transmission and developed differential equations that could be applied to general infectious diseases,contributing to the development of mathematical epidemiology.
