Move against malaria

Article Abstract:

The US Agency for International Development (USAID), which had banned the use of the insecticide dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane in 1972 amid fears of adverse environmental consequences, made a policy change to endorse the spraying of the insecticide inside houses, as part of efforts to control malaria in sub-Saharan Africa, on May 2, 2006. The policy change could prove to be one of themost effective decisions of the past few decades in the battle against malaria.
