F. Summary
- a. Four different methods of malaria control were tested under field conditions in four separate towns in a tropical country where original incidence of malaria, as measured by splenic and blood findings, was highly comparable.
- b. The incidence of malaria in all of the towns was severe to hyperendemic.
- c. Meteorological factors were highly comparable in the towns, if they cannot be classified as identical. All towns were situated on the coastline within fifteen miles of one another.
- d. Three surveys were performed in the towns over the period of nine months before any control was instituted, to serve, together with a comparison town, as a baseline from which to measure results.
- e. All control was begun at the same time following the third survey of December 1945.
- f. Subsequent surveys following the initiation of control procedures, were performed at the identical time of the year as those performed during the first nine months of observation.
