Uli Beisel & Christophe Boete on Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay

In their research paper titled "The Flying Public Health Tool : Genetically Modified Mosquitoes and Malaria Control" published in 'Science as Culture' Volume 22 No 1.  2013, ( pages 38 - 60 ) from Lancaster, UK, Dr Uli Beisel and Dr Christophe Boete have elaborated upon the reasons as to why Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay was not awarded the Nobel Prize along with Ronald Ross.
