Abstract: | The Kheda project experience has shown that bio-environmentalcontrol of malaria is feasible, cost effective and ecologicallysound. It clearly brings out the need to consider health issuesat the planning stage of all developments. Bio-environmentalcontrol of malaria is suggested as the first line of attackfor the control of mosquitoes, malaria and other mosquito-bornediseases. Insecticides may be reserved for short-term use. Thiswill enable judicious and selective use of insecticides in solelyepidemic situations. The growing problem of resistance to insecticidesin mosquitoes as well as environmental pollution, can then besolved on a long term basis. |
