Title A name given to the resource Malaria Control: CDC Beginnings Description An account of the resource <div class="landing"> <p>In 1942, when the U.S. was mobilizing for the Second World War, the U. S. Public Health Service set up a program to protect the personnel of military bases in the Southeastern states from malaria. This disease had long been rampant in the area, and posed serious threats to the health of the military and civilian populations. The program known as Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA) was created to carry out the work. The lack of space in Washington due to the war effort allowed the program to base its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and closer to the work at hand. During the war years, the program was expanded to include the control of other communicable diseases. Because its work was so successful, a new organization was created around the nucleus of MCWA, the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). The date was July 1, 1946.

Title A name given to the resource REPORT FOR REGISTRATION OF MALARIA ERADICATION FROM UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Description An account of the resource On May 21, 1968, the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare requested the World Health Organization (WHO) via the Pan American Health Organization (PARO) to certify and register the United States as a nation that had achieved malaria eradication before 1957. This report responds to a U.S. Government request for certification and registration of the nation's malaria eradication status. It reviews past and current malaria data in the U.S., including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. It also assesses medical and public health facilities and resources, such as reporting procedures, surveillance, laboratory services, research, and vector control activities. While the evaluation is complex due to various responsible agencies, the review confirms the country's long-standing freedom from endemic malaria, achieved through cooperative efforts and surveillance. However, the report cautions against complacency due to an increasing number of imported malaria cases and the presence of anopheline vectors in certain regions.
