Incidence Of Malaria
In Army Overseas

By the Associated Press.

Modern methods of mosquito con-
troll combined with effective and
prompt treatment of malarial cases
have resulted in fewer mon -ef1ec-
tive" troops in the American Army
than in those of the enemy, the War
Department says.
In an analysis of the fight against
malaria, q serious problem in some
war theaters, the Army said the
rate of this disease among troops
in areas where it is prevalent has
been cut from one-third to one
quarter Of its incidence earlier in
the war
Because of security reasons. the
statement did not give the incidence
figures for overseas areas, but did
report those for troops within the
United States, O.2 per 1000 in l943
Complete Protection Difficult.
In certain overseas regions where
complete protection is difficult to
achieve, the report said, malaria
rates. at times, have been a matter
of concern
The success of the campaign
against the disease has been
achieved through thorough and
widespread application of proven
measures, including mosquito con-
troll, treatment of cases and jnten-
sive. research by commissions OF
both military and civilian scientists.

been conducted for more than three

"Atabrine, especially with i'm

shown that atabrine in many ways
is preferable to quinine and just as
free from undesirable effects"
The return of troops infected
with malaria has caused public con-
Germ that the disease might become

This hazard is fully recognized
by the medical departments of the
