dc.description.abstractEntomological studies showed that due to outdoor resting by the vector Anopheles culicifacies as well as poor spray coverage, indoor residual spraying with malathion was ineffective in malarious villages of the Thenpennai riverine tract in Tamil Nadu. Over a 4 yr period during which residual spraying was supplemented with ground applications of malathion space spraying, the slide positivity among patients with fever fell from 21.04 to 1.1 per cent. In mass blood surveys 0.7 per cent persons surveyed at the beginning of the study were positive for the malarial parasite, but no positives were detected in the last survey, in 1984. There was a rising trend in malaria incidence in riverine villages outside the programme.en_US
