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.

Malaria prevention techniques
TRT 10:00
Much of the material used in this film has been supplied through the courtesy of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
Produced by the Office of Malaria Control in War Areas, Atlanta, Georgia.
An audio commentary explains that mosquito proofing is closing all the cracks, holes, and openings in a building so that the malaria-carrying quadrimaculatus mosquito is kept out. The audio commentary provides a detailed explanation of how this is done. This film shows men unloading screens, nailing screens on doors and windows, boarding up fireplaces, and constructing screens in shops. The film also uses sketches to explain instructions. A sketch of a room is used to illustrate problems and animations of fireplace closing and crack filling overlaid. The film also uses animated arrows to point out specifics in a diagram of the wood plan for a screen door and illustrations of 16 and 4 mesh per inch screen. The film also includes views of housing, swamps, mosquito illustrations, a man on a porch smoking with mother and child walking by, children in a house, a baby, and a sick child.
KEY WORDS: Office of Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA), malaria, mosquitoes, Cyprus lumber, S4S: surfaced four sides, galvanized metal, screen doors, screen windows.
