In this section Of the country, the
disease known as malaria is spread
by one of the Anopheles group OF
mosquitoes, Anopheles quadrimacu-
latus, which may bite persons who
are Ill with malaria or who are
malaria carriers and subsequently
transmit the malaria parasites to
the blood stream Of other persons
by biting them.
Malaria Is sometimes called ague,
or chills and fever. After the mos
quito has bitten malaria carrier, 1t
takes approximately two weeks be-
fore the development of the para
site in the mosquito reaches the
stage where the mosquito may
transmit the disease. Then the in
cubation period in person subse-
quently bitten by the mosquito Is
two weeks before symptoms Of the
disease occur. The patient usually
suffers from recurring chills and
fever which are relieved by medical
treatment.
Although malaria has not been a
common disease in Connecticut in
recent years, many soldiers return
ing home, or other persons coming
to our cities and towns from malar-
ial regions may tend to increase the
spread of malaria during and after
the war, as happened in the case
of soldiers returning from the South
after the Civil and Spanish Amer
lean Wars. Many individuals COM
ing from malarial regions are car
rters of malaria, whether they have
ever had symptoms of the disease
or not. Some will have first attacks
of malaria after returning to Con-
necticut and others may have re-
lapses for some period Of time.
Mosquito Spreads Malaria
Most mosquitoes occurring in
Connecticut are of the nuisance
variety, such as salt marsh mosqui-
toes and rain barrel mosquitoes. The
mosquito which Is the principal po-
tential vector of malaria in this Sec
ton Of the country is known as AM
opheles quadrimaculatus. In Con-
necticut the development OF Ano-
pheles larvae usually takes place be-
tween the last of June and the last
Of September. Anopheles mosquitoes
bite mostly in the ealy evening and
night.
The mosquito does not commonly

State On Offensive
Against Mosquitoes
Control Measures, Educational Pamphlets Prepared
to Prevent Spread Of Malaria in Connecticut

-s------
I fly over one mile. 1t breeds chiefly
in pools, ponds, swamps and mar
gins of lakes. Breeding is most like
" in clean quiet water rather than
in flowing waters or in turbid or
polluted water. A most significant
characteristic of anopheline larvae
Is that instead Of hanging head
downward at the water slifaces as do
most mosquito larvae, they lie hori-
zontally at the surface and seem to
pass most of the time in this posi-
ton. These larvae or "wrigglers"
which develop from mosquito eggs in
one to three days, grow to about
one-Quarter inch or more In length.
Development from egg to larvae to
adult takes about two or three
weeks.
Control Measures
The measures for preventing the
spread Of malaria may be listed
under the following general heads:
l. Supervision and education OF
malaria carriers.
2. Surveys to determine distribu-
ton Of Anopheles mosquitoes. in
Guiding collection, shipment and cx-
animation Of samples of larvae and
adults.
8. Control Of mosquito breeding
places.
4. Screening with 16 or 10 meshes
to the inch screen.
5. Killing mosquitoes; particu-
larry by use Of house sprays.
Action Taken BY Connecticut
Authorities
The State Department Of Health
has been working in cooperation
with the State Board Of Mosquito
Control in an endeavor to afford
any possible assistance to local au-
thorities. The enclosed pamphlet
Malaria Control" Is now being
widely distributed to health officers,
local officials, physicians and pub
lie health nurses to present to them
certain facts Of interest and sugges-
tons as to possible methods Of CO.

tiles. OF further interest is a re-
print Of more detailed discussion
Of the history and medical aspects
Of malaria control, Malaria ~ A

available from the State Depart
ment Of Health and which was pub
