Descrição: In 1901, just four years after Ross identified anopheline mosquitoes as the vectors of human malaria, he initiated effective malaria control operations in the Klang and Port Swettenham regions of Malaya, where the annual mortality had been 170 per 1000 people. The incidence of malaria was rapidly reduced through the application of Watson's species sanitation methods, such that the disease had little impact on economic activity, and this success was reinforced when DDT was added to the control armoury in 1946.
