Blackfly control: what choices after onchocerciasis?

Blackflies are reappearing in areas of West Africa where they used to be controlled with insecticides because they were vectors of the parasite Onchocerca volvulus. Even though they no longer transmit onchocerciasis in these areas they can hinder optimal land use through their biting behaviour. The authors discuss the problems associated with resuming the use of insecticides to control the blackfly and recommend that ground treatment be restricted to areas where it is likely to be effective on a continuing basis. In communities lacking technical and financial resources the only alternative consists of individual protection through the use of repellents or protective clothing.

Reversing the flow: agricultural development and changing migration patterns in rural Maharashtra.

"In this paper we investigate the impact of rapid change from subsistence to irrigated farming [in Maharashtra, India,] and human dynamic responses to these changes from a longitudinal perspective (1975 to 1987). The study focuses on a single village, providing an in-depth and extensive analysis of both in and out-migration, characteristics of migrants, motivations for migration, experience at destination, and links with home areas, both social and economic.... The importance of migration, not only to the study village, but also to other rural areas from which in-migrants came, is also assessed." (SUMMARY IN FRE AND SPA)

Rural and remote mental health placements for nursing students.

Clinical placements can be instrumental in encouraging nursing students to consider a future career in rural Australia. Twenty nursing students from a metropolitan university were provided with the opportunity to undertake a clinical placement in mental health in a rural or remote setting. The majority of placements were between 2 and 4 weeks in length. They took place in community health centres and rehabilitation centres in New South Wales and in hospital inpatient facilities, remote areas and community health services in the Northern Territory. On return from the placement, students completed an open-question pro forma giving their views and impressions of their experiences and contrasting this with clinical experience gained in urban settings. The content of the students' responses was analysed and presented under the following themes: scale relating to urban and rural differences in population; geographical and health facility size; staffing matters; the environment; the students' perception of the clients; and professional interaction. Additional material relating to remote area placements is presented. Questions are raised about the maintenance of students' interest and the development of rural careers.
