title: A review of the Malaria Eradication Programme in the Solomon Islands 1975-1976.
abstract: The review outlines the developments in the Solomon Islands Malaria Eradication Programme (MEP) during the period 1975 - 1976. In most of the islands of the Solomons group MEP continues to be successful, but overall progress is hindered by persistent foci in areas of high malaria endemicity in north Guadalcanal. Some changes in the operational methodology are described, together with a report on supplementary measures carried out in the 'problem area' of north Guadalcanal.
