Controlling Malaria in Mexico Using Alternatives to DDT 2001-09-14
Public health experts in Mexico, in collaboration with the nation's Malaria Control Programme, are introducing new strategies, to prevent malaria outbreaks — without the help of DDT. Using an ecosystem health approach, a multi-disciplinary team funded by IDRC is fighting the malaria parasite in the State of Oaxaca by addressing the most important factors that determine its spread: humans, mosquitoes, and the local environment in which parasites persist.
