42 North Carolina Board of Health ' MALARIA CONTROL The Department created for the Investigation and Control of malarial fevers is financed jointly by the State Board of Health and the International Health Board. The main and primary object of the Department is to confine its efforts to studying the prevalence, geographic distribution of malarial fevers, factors responsible for transmission and to suggest to county health departments the most economical means of control. There is a secondary object of perhaps even greater importance which has guided the department in formulating its policies; this is the stimulation of a permanent interest and activity in the administration of public health activities whereby disease prevention can be carried on economically and on a large scale by free and generous support of full time county health departments. The department thus created has been instrumental in the oi'ganization of two additional county health units, thus making a total of nine county health departments whose duty it is to carry on control measures wherever the disease is prevalent enough to justify the effort and the expenditure of public funds. The policies pertaining to the organization and conduct of the departments undertaking malaria control are determined by the State Board of Health. The details pertaining to county organization has been delegated to a staff member of the International Health Board, who is executive head of the departments and who directs the field activities of the newly created county organizations in the control of the disease. Main Objectives County organizations created by joint funds of the International Health Board, State Board of Health, and counties for the investigation and control of malarial fevers, have the prime objectives in view 1. Geographic distribution of the disease. 2. The incidence of the disease and the extent to which it is a menace to the health and economic efficiency of the people. 3. Factors responsible for transmission and spread. 4. The possibility of controlling the disease within the economic reach of the people. In order to explain the procedure followed by each county health organization the methods and relation to the objectives as advised by the department will be considered. Method for Objective One Malaria a Rural Disease: Malaria is essentially a rural disease for the reason that the mosquitoes held responsible for the transmission of the disease are essentially a rural species and any reduction in the incidence of the disease will benefit the rural moi'e than the urban population. The serious loss from the disease is not due to the costs of treatment and deaths, but rather to the loss of efficiency of labor, loss in net crop productions and in the predisposition to other and more fatal diseases. Certain biological facts concerning the malarial mosquitoes explains the rural nature of the disease. While the mosquitoes which have been incriminated as the principal vectors of the disease are domestic in their adult habits, they may be considered only partially domestic in their breeding
