Ineffectiveness of DDT residual spraying in stopping malaria transmission in the Jordan Valley.
The malaria-control campaign in the Jordan Valley-undertaken by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East in 1949-has been based solely on DDT residual spraying in the northeastern areas, but in certain southern districts some larvicidal and drainage work has been done.Observations made in the north-east showed that active malaria transmission had occurred in 4 of the 12 villages surveyed in 1951, and in 8 of the 9 villages surveyed in 1952. That the insecticide was effective was demonstrated by the fact that sprayed structures were almost entirely free from anophelines four months after the last spraying, but entomological surveys showed that Anopheles sergenti and A. superpictus (the main malaria vectors) were successfully evading contact with sprayed surfaces by using caves and fissures in hills as daytime resting-places.The author discusses the bearing that the topography of the area and the habits of the population have on the transmission of the disease, and stresses the importance of surveys. He recommends the resumption of antilarval measures in the Jordan Valley.
