Anopheles (malaria) eradication in Cyprus.
The island of Cyprus was suffering for many years from malaria fever. It was only in 1946 when a well organised Anopheles eradication campaign started. For this purpose the Anopheles Eradication Service was formed. Until 1949 this Service worked on Mosquito Eradication. An official announcement about the success of this Campaign was made on January 10th, 1950.
