Abstract

A trial programme of ground applications of ULV malathion spray was evaluated as a supplementary measure to reduce Anopheles density in the "problem area" of the Solomon Islands Malaria Eradication Programme. From the entomological assessment and from a consideration of the situational constraints encountered it was concluded than ULV spraying has limited practicability.
