在逐渐停止普遍使用室内喷洒DDT和其它杀虫剂控制疟疾近30年之后,世界卫生组织(WHO)于2006年9月15日宣布,这一干预措施将再次在努力抗击疟疾方面发挥重要作用。WHO目前正在建议不仅对流行地区,而且包括整个非洲在内的疟疾持续高传播地区实施室内残留喷洒(IRS)。WHO负责HIV/艾滋病、结核和疟疾的助理总干事Anarfi Asamoa-Baah博士对此指出,科学和规划证据明确支持这一重新评估;IRS有益于迅速减少携带疟疾的蚊虫所造成的感染人数。IRS已被证实如同其它疟疾预防措施一样经济有效,且DDT在正确使用时无健康风险。
Nearly 30 years after the widespread use of DDT and other insecticides to control malaria by indoor spraying has been phased out, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced on September 15, 2006 that this intervention will again play an important role in efforts to combat malaria. WHO is currently recommending the application of indoor residual spraying (IRS) not only to endemic areas, but also to areas with continued high levels of transmission of malaria, including Africa as a whole. Dr Anarfi Asamoa-Baah, WHO Assistant Director-General for HIV / AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria, noted in this regard that scientific and planning evidence clearly supports this reassessment; the IRS is instrumental in rapidly reducing the number of infections caused by mosquitoes carrying malaria. The IRS has proven to be as cost-effective as other malaria prophylaxis and DDT has no health risk when used correctly.
