Elephantiasis & Culex :: Malaria
Answers
Answer:
In areas with low or moderate transmission of malaria, in those with advanced
health services with well trained and experienced personnel, and in priority areas
such as those with development projects, attempts may be made to reduce the
prevalence of malaria by community-wide mosquito control measures.
In areas subject to epidemic risk, quick-acting and timely vector control measures, such as insecticide spraying, play an important role in the control or
prevention of epidemics.
Apart from the input of health services in the planning and management of
activities, it is also important for communities to participate in control efforts.
Sufficient resources have to be ensured for the long-term maintenance of improvements obtained. In developed countries with advanced professional capabilities
and sufficient resources, it is possible to aim at a countrywide eradication of
malaria. Eradication has been achieved in southern Europe, most Caribbean
islands, the Maldives, large parts of the former USSR and the USA.
As most anopheline mosquitos enter houses to bite and rest, malaria control
programmes have focused primarily on the indoor application of residual insecticides to the walls and ceilings of houses. House spraying is still important in some
tropical countries but in others its significance is diminishing because of a number
of problems (see Chapter 9), which, in certain areas, have led to the interruption
or termination of malaria control programmes.
