    Apr 5, 2012 · Ross's second malaria model was a special case of his new, general theory: he called malaria a “metaxenous” disease. In 1915, he solved the general equations, and discussed his work in relation to Brownlee's [103] , who was developing a complementary set of methods for studying epidemics [33] .
