title: The organization of vector control in Poland.
abstract: International co-operation for the protection of health against communicable diseases originated in the 19th century. The constant development of international transport and trade increases the hazards of the spread of pests carrying diseases and causing economic losses: this can be avoided only by the collaboration of all countries. New methods are now available to control diseases transmitted by rodents and arthropods, but in view of the complexity of the biological, geophysical and technical factors involved it is desirable to investigate the way in which public health authorities in different countries deal with their problems in this field. This paper describes the development of sanitation measures in Poland, and in particular the administrative organization of vector control. Recommendations are made as to how best this may be achieved by countries newly attacking the problem.
