title: Innovative procedures used in the Taiwan malaria eradication program.
abstract: The Taiwan malaria program, inaugurated with limited funds well before the World Health Organization had promoted or established many conventional techniques, displayed commendable imagination and resourcefulness in laboratory and field activities. Effective economic use of personnel and simple, ingenious design and use of equipment were features of the program. Descriptions are given of a few procedures which failed and of many which succeeded. Examples are cited of techniques and/or equipment which were later adopted by malaria and vector control programs outside of Taiwan.
