title: [New strategy in the fight against malaria].
abstract: The initial spectacular success of the malaria eradication programme which has been performed since 1955 did not save from severe reactions. These reactions were the cause for a more realistic estimation of the situation. The at present necessary activities in the combat against malaria have to be realized flexibly and in the comprehensive range of the national health planning taking into consideration the epidemiological conditions, the financial and personal possibilities of the country concerned as well as the total social-economical structure. Particular problems result from the increasing resistence of the malaria vectors against insecticides and the pathogenic agents against chemotherapeutics. In the development of new methods of combat special consideration must be ascribed to their efficiency not only, but also to their economy. The at present forcedly performed malaria research is expected to give not only a better understanding of the pathogenesis of the disease, but also new possibilities of prevention.
