dc.description.abstractA field trial was undertaken to study the impact of mud plastering on the efficacy of DDT spraying in two villages in Koraput district. In Maliguda village, where 95 per cent spray coverage was achieved and the spray surfaces were retained without mud plastering up to 29 and 60 days in first and second round of the spray respectively, malaria cases reduced by 72 per cent after spray for a period of two months. In Dandabedha village with 85 per cent coverage and immediate mud plastering, the malaria cases reduced by 49 per cent. It is concluded that even though mud plastering reduces the effectiveness of the residual spraying to a certain extent, timely spray and better coverage with correct dosage can still effectively reduce the malaria incidence.en_US
