Abstract

Since the incidence of mosquito-borne disease was drastically reduced by the use of DDT in the 1950s, the problem has again worsened and no single method of eradication seems likely to achieve lasting success. It now seems that the best hope lies in the combination of various methods of chemical control and perhaps genetic control to rid the Third World of its most important disease sector.
