The Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene,〔RSTMH website. Retrieved on 23 January 2014 from http://www.rstmh.org/About%20us/Contact%20Us〕 more commonly known by its acronym RSTMH, was founded in 1907 by Sir James Cantlie and George Carmichael Low. Sir Patrick Manson, the Society's first President (1907–1909), was recognised as "the father of tropical medicine" by his biographer. He passed the post on to Sir Ronald Ross (president 1909–1911), discoverer of the role of mosquitoes in the transmission of malaria. The objectives of RSTMH are "to promote and advance the study, control and prevention of diseases in man and other animals in the tropics and sub-tropics, facilitate discussion and exchange of information among those who are interested in tropical diseases and international health, and generally to promote the work of those interested in these objectives".〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rstmh.org )〕 In 1920, King George V gave his permission for RSTMH to use the Royal prefix. Queen Elizabeth II is patron of the society and the Princess Royal is an Honorary Fellow. RSTMH Fellows are not entitled to use the post-nominal letters. Fellowship of RSTMH has no status as a diploma or academic credential.〔RSTMH, Proposed Laws, Fellows: (18(iii). )〕 ==Location== In 2011 the Society moved from Manson House, 26 Portland Place, London, to its current premises in Northumberland House, 303-306 High Holborn, London, WC1V 7JZ 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
