4(5 North Carolina State Board of Health ii_mosquito and malaria control Objective: The purposes in this activity are: (a) The determination of the prevalence and geographic distribution of malaria and malaria-bearing mosquitoes, the extent to which the disease is a menace to the health and economic efficiency of the people, and the recommendation of suitable and economic measures for its control; (b) The study of impounded M^ater and its effect upon the prevalence of mosquitoes and the incidence of malaria; (c) The investigation and correction of situations which pi'oduce pestiferous mosquitoes, and (d) The survey of salt marsh mosquito-breeding areas con-jointly with the U. S. Public Health Service. Methods: In 1920 a cooperative agreement was made between the State Board of Health, the International Health Board, The U. S. Public Health Service and several towns in the eastern part of the State and a program launched to demonstrate the possibility and advantage of the eradication of malaria. In 1922 malaria control was undertaken on a county-wide basis in several counties of the coastal plain area, the work being financed jointly by the State, the counties involved, and the International Health Board, the latter organization loaning a member of its field staff for the direction ol the work. For the next seven years this activity was continued on the same cooperative basis and under the same direction, the director in the meanwhile being taken by the State Board of Health and made a member of its staff. During this time the work has been administered through the Bureau of County Health work, as a separate unit, and by the Bureau of Epidemiology, emphasis being placed upon mosquito and malaria surveys and the organization and directron of local county health departments in the malaria-infected areas for the control of the disease. In 1927 a biologist was added to the staff and the scope of activity extended to include studies of the many impounded reservoirs of power companies in the piedmont and western sections of the State, and malaria surveys in areas adjacent to proposed impounding developments preliminary to their construction. On May 1, 1929, the mosquito and malaria control work was transferred to the Bureau of Engineering, the biologist becoming a member of the staff of this bureau. With local health departments in the eastern malarial zones well established and actively engaged in control measures, it was considered by the Board that the present and futui'e problems were principally engineering and biological in nature, and therefore logically within the scope of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering and Inspection. The biologist left the department in September, 1929, on a year's leave of absence for the purpose of taking graduate work. The principal work of this activity at present is the study of impounded water projects carried on in the form of surveys in cooperation with power companies and the county health organizations in whose territory the projects are located. General data are collected, consisting of histories of past occurrence of malaria, present malaria conditions as evidenced by history and blood tests, and general environmental conditions which influence mosquito breeding.
