The Organization of Permanent Nation-wide Anti-Aedes aegypti Measures in Brasil

By FRED L. SOPER, D. BRUCE WILSON, SERVULO LIMA and WALDEMAR SA ANTUNAS. Pp. 1–137. Illustrated. The Rockefeller Foundation, New York. 1943

This report of the operation of an Aedes aegypti campaign is published by the Rockefeller Foundation at the request of Sir Malcolm Watson, who, after observing the methods employed by the Brazilian Government, in conjunction with the Foundation, urgently requested that the methods used be published "so that in other countries men who are faced with the problem of mosquito control will have this invaluable guide."

The report embodies a complete and detailed description of the methods employed by the Brazilian Government and the Foundation in the control of Aedes aegypti in Brazil, which was undertaken to prevent the spread of yellow fever in that country. The campaign was eminently successful and this report contains copies of all of the various blanks, charts, etc., used, together with the regulations regarding inspections and the various methods employed for the destruction of this mosquito.
