  Laveran, Alphonse: Encyclopedia of Public Health
Laveran's father was a distinguished physician in the French military, and Laveran continued the family tradition.
Laveran presented his discovery at a meeting at the Académie de Médecine in Paris a few weeks later on November 23, 1880.
Yet, when Laveran demonstrated his experiment in Italy, a center for the study of malaria, skeptics questioned his deduction that the filaments were independent living organisms.

By careful observation viewing blood slides under a microscope, Laveran discovered that it was a parasite in red blood cells that causes human malaria (1880).
Laveran later showed that the parasites, during their development in the red blood corpuscles, destroy them; and the red pigment in the corpuscles is changed into the melanin particles.
When Laveran was recalled from Algeria to Paris, and so forced to interrupt his work on malaria, he had already clearly formulated the problems that had first to be solved in this field.

Laveran's keen observations, and later travels and researches, not only made him an expert in tropical diseases, but won him the 1907 Nobel Prize in Medicine for tracing the propagation of malaria from a blood-borne protozoan parasite inserted from the bite of a mosquito.
Laveran worked from 1896 until his death in 1922 at the Pasteur Institute, named for Louis Pasteur, the discoverer of the germ theory of disease that shattered the medieval conception that disease signified divine disfavor and that faith and fetishes could cure it.

 Wikipedia: Malaria
Malaria (Italian bad air; formerly called ague in English) is a tropical disease which causes about half a billion infections and 2 million deaths annually, mainly in tropical countries and especially in sub-Saharan Africa.
The protozoan cause of malaria was discovered by a French army doctor, Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1907.
Malaria is caused by the protozoan parasite Plasmodium (one of the Apicomplexa) - the main culprits are P.falciparum and P.vivax, but P.ovale and P.malariae are also known to cause malaria.

Laveran’s discovery was, however, rejected by the medical community and it was not until 1886 that his discovery was accepted by Italian scientists, who were the leaders in the field at the time.
This was due in large measure to the influence of Patrick Manson, for three reasons a key figure in Ross’s contribution to the unravelling of the life history of the malarial parasite.
First, Manson demonstrated convincingly to a skeptical Ross the correctness of Alphonse Laveran’s pioneering observations of 1880: that the blood of malarial patients contained pigmented bodies of parasites.

In 1880, Charles Louis Alphonse Laveran's (1845-1922) observations that the blood of malaria patients contained the pigmented bodies of parasites suggested an alternative cause.
In 1880 the French physician Alphonse Laveran had discovered that malaria is caused by a one-celled organism called Plasmodium.
During Ross's year in England, he studied with Manson and became convinced that Laveran's theory was correct and that the causative agent for malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes.

In 1880, during a sojourn at Constantine, Alphonse Laveran discovered the etiological agent of human malaria.
During his microscopic observations of the parasite in freshly collected blood, Laveran's attention was attracted to the movement of flagellar bodies in the preparations.
In 1884, Laveran showed these flagellated bodies to Pasteur, Roux and Chamberland who all thought that it was impossible not to recognize a living body in this mass of protoplasm displacing the surrounding red blood cells with its protruding flagella.

It was not until the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, however, that the vector and parasite responsible for the disease were identified, though malaria had been associated with swampy areas long before.
In the 1880s, a surgeon with the French military, Alphonse Laveran, identified parasitic protozoa as the cause of malaria, and over the ensuing decades a number of scientists contributed to the identification of the bite of the female Anopheles mosquito as the mode of transmission.
Today, four species of the protozoa first observed by Laveran are known to produce malaria: Plasmodium vivax, P.
