Excerpt
Preface The present manual is intended to be a practical vade-mecum for the entomologist as well a s f o r the malariologist in a malaria programme. For t h i s , in addition to s p e c i f i c entomological procedures, it w i l l be indicated why, when and where regular and special entomological a c t i v i t i e s need to be carried out and how the data should be analysed for a better overall understanding of the malaria situation. In revising Practical Entomology in Malaria Eradication (1963) a broader treatment has been given to the subject matter as is indicated i n the change of t i t l e . For one thing consideration is of course given to vector bionomics but, more important, entomology is dealt with as an i n t e g r a l p a r t of malaria epidemiology and not only the description of techniques, collection and tabulation of data confined to vectors alone. This is e s s e n t i a l because the entomologist must take an i n t e r e s t in a l l aspects of malaria as a member of a team which provides an epidemiological service. The information he supplies should always indicate the appropriate action that needs to be taken. Thus, the entomologist has an important role in the planning of a malaria control programme in addition t o the more specialized planning of the s p e c i f i c a c t i v i t i e s of his own service. The recording, presentation and interpretation of data and the preparation of reports are e s s e n t i a l factors for stimulating appropriate action, and examples of reporting forms are provided.
