Excerpt
PREFACE This manual is intended for planners in malaria programmes and for all who are responsible for the execution of large-scale antimalaria operations. It provides valuable teaching material for the senior staff at malaria training centres as well as a source of reference for them and their students. Senior operational and engineering staff in malaria programmes will find it particularly useful in the planning and execution of antilarval operations, and they will be able to develop their own operational and training manuals from it. It is hoped that all malariologists will welcome it as a comprehensive reference work on antilarval operations in malaria programmes.
