MOSQUITOES AND MALARIA
Doctor Ravenel of the University
of Missouri Tells of Insect
Disease Carriers.

In addition to being pests, many
insects are carriers of disease" said
Dr. M. P. Ravenel. professor of
bacteriology and preventive med
icine at the University of Missouri.
Some insects, such as the ordin-
AIRY house lily, act mechanically as
filth carriers. continued DR.. Raw

syringe, mechanically drawing

among which heavy losses are often
due to bites of insects. Texas few

ers of the South and the cattle
trade of at least 500, 900, 900 per
year is carried by tick.
In man the most important
disease conveyed by insects in Mis-
souri, is malarial fever. The germ,
which belongs to the animal king
dom, is in the blood.
The mosquito in biting draws
the young parasites into its stom
ach where they undergo stage of
development which requires about
twelve days. During this time
they multiply enormously and
finally reach the salivary gland of
the mosquito. Then the bite in

THE breeding of the mosquito
should be prevented. This insect
always lays its eggs in stagnant
water. These hatch and produce
the wcll-known wigglers. Where
the water cannot be drained, the
surface of such pools should be
covered with crude oil, which fills
the breathing apparatus of the
larvae and kills it by suffocation.
