Question

what is the contribution of A.F.A king?​

Answer 1

In 1882, King proposed a method to eradicate malaria from Washington, DC. His method was to encircle the city with a wire screen as high as the Washington Monument. Many people took this as a jest, partly because the link between malaria and mosquitoes had, at that time, been hypothesized by only a few physicians. It was not until 1898 that Ronald Ross proved mosquitoes were a vector for malaria (he won the Nobel Prize for the discovery just four years later).[8] However impractical, King was on the right track for malaria control, well in advance of the rest of the medical profession.

I hope this helps.
