Experiencias derivadas de los fracasos en la erradicación

Abstract

Taking malaria eradication as an example, the honeymoon is over, and we must now come down to earth and get set for the long, slow pull, keeping constantly in mind the unquestioned superiority of eradication as a goal. We must learn to recognize what is feasible, and to distinguish feasibility from possibility, less legislators come to distrust us, and refuse to make adequate funds available for the long-term operation

The more sophisticated the operation the greater the need for malariological research, of the good, old-fashioned, pre-DDT, kind, in order to recognize the ultimate preserves of the malaria parasites, and to determine the least expensive ways to eradicate them(AU)
