Anopheles Quadrimaculators Vectors: Organochloride DDT and Global Malaria Paper on Organochloride’s Effect on Global Malaria
Dr. Stephanie P. McCallum Ed.D. Environmental Health Public Health 8165 -1 October 4, 2011
Abstract
Organochlorides, as identified on the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, (ASTDR) have been effective in the eradication of Malaria in the Third World countries. Malaria, as a vector driven disease, causes a severe falciparum infection. Malaria is seriously affecting Third World countries. Millions of people are dying. The measurement of annual parasite indexes ( API) determines the true growth in Malaria incidence in South American and the Sub-saharan Africa. The exponential decrease in morbidity and mortality after the organochloride Dichlorodiphenytrichloethan (DDT). CAS 50- 29- 3, was evident in every country affected by malaria. Malaria is a silent killer. DDT, a trichlo-ethane pesticide was widely used to control Anopheles Quadrimaculators Vectors by reducing the mosquito-transmitted infections. The breeding habitats of adult anopheles (mosquitoes) were eliminated. DDT is a persistent, toxic, white crystalline solid organochloride. DDT is a long lasting pesticide used effectively during WWII with the military, and later used to eradicate malaria in the United States. Persistent Organic Pollutants leech into the human diet by, direct application, contaminated waste
