| Date | 1899 |
| Author | Bancroft |
| Contribution | Suggested transmission of filariasis by bite of mosquito. |
| Reference | Grove |
| Notes | Thomas Bancroft, son of Joseph who had found the adult worm in 1876. Cf. Manson, 1877, who thought that transmission resulted from drinking water in which the mosquito had died. Bancroft's view was confirmed by Low in 1900. |
