Guest guest Posted October 1, 2006 Report Share Posted October 1, 2006 WHO backs indoor use of DDT for controlling malaria 15 September 2006 -- The World Health Organization today announced that indoor spraying with DDT and other insecticides will once again play a major role in its efforts to fight malaria. WHO is now recommending the use of indoor residual spraying not only in epidemic areas but also in areas with constant and high malaria transmission, including throughout Africa. The decision comes nearly thirty years after WHO phased out the widespread use of indoor spraying with DDT and other insecticides for malaria control. http://www.who.int/en/News release "Our ideal is not the spirituality that withdraws from life but the conquest of life by the power of the spirit." - Aurobindo.
