These  and  other  observations  turned  him  away from Manson’s drinking  water  theory   and  directed  his attention more  to  transmission by  the flying and biting mosquito.  He concentrated  on  trying  to  discover whether  this mode of  transmission  is  indeed, the one which actually occurs.
