title: [Campaigns for the eradication of malaria in Tunisia: history and current situation].
abstract: The authors recall the historic of the different campaigns conducted against the malaria in Tunisia. Started since 1903 under the direction of Charles Nicolle, these campaigns were taken over after the end of each world war. However it must be necessary to wait the last campaign from 1966 to 1972, to conclude at the eradication of the disease, in 1977, into the country. Since this date, the systematic control of malaria is always conducted in the country. This end control is objected to avoid the resurgence of this parasitic disease in Tunisia, for the number of imported cases is increasing and the country presents ecological conditions propitious to Anopheles.
