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. This archive chronicles the agency’s early history from 1941-1951, including the contributions of local businessmen and Emory University.

Description
An account of the resource
This film is an animated filmograph describing the danger of malaria transmission by the Anopheles mosquito. A cub reporter is depicted trying to investigate the story of "Anna Awful" (anopheles), an evil femme fatale of sorts who is sickening and terrorizing people. As the reporter gathers "the scoop," we see shots that include: diagrams of eggs, larva, and pupa, the difference between male and female adults, the way the female transmits malaria organisms, and the difference between Anopheles quadrimaculatus and Culex mosquitoes.

Description

Hand mixing and spraying of DDT to kill mosquitos in their breeding areas.

TRT 17:35
U.S. Public Health Service Training Film.
This film teaches how to create a DDT spray solution, dissolve it before use, fill a spray pump, maintain the pump, and supply spray to ponds. Specific instructions are given for how to spray and pace over different types of ponds as well as how to hold and move the spray hose, all with respect to wind direction. Walking paths are often animated with white lines and arrows showing the wind’s direction. In many parts of the film, a man is pacing and spraying properly. There is also a visual of a man checking a pond for larvae with a small white dish on a long stick. Signs on sketched columns are used to show important factors: swath width, concentration, wind speed and direction, air pressure, and movement of the sprayer. The film asserts that these actions, carried out faithfully, will control mosquito larvae efficiently and at low cost.
KEY WORDS: Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), larvicide, Anopheles mosquito, Culicine mosquito, spraying, oil, spreading agent, Triton B-1956, Emulfor Ag, gallon drum, atomizing nozzle.
