[Medical entomology in Taiwan].
Following the establishment of the Environmental Protection Administration in 1987 and the occurrence of the dengue epidemic in 1988, resurgent interest and need have been created to promote and support medical entomology in Taiwan. Steps should be taken to strengthen the training of workers in medical entomology, to establish a society for vector ecology and control, to issue periodicals in English, and to coordinate with foreign institution. Items for applied research on vector and best control are suggested.
