Title A name given to the resource Malaria Control: CDC Beginnings Description An account of the resource <div class="landing"> <p>In 1942, when the U.S. was mobilizing for the Second World War, the U. S. Public Health Service set up a program to protect the personnel of military bases in the Southeastern states from malaria. This disease had long been rampant in the area, and posed serious threats to the health of the military and civilian populations. The program known as Malaria Control in War Areas (MCWA) was created to carry out the work. The lack of space in Washington due to the war effort allowed the program to base its headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and closer to the work at hand. During the war years, the program was expanded to include the control of other communicable diseases. Because its work was so successful, a new organization was created around the nucleus of MCWA, the Communicable Disease Center (CDC). The date was July 1, 1946. This archive chronicles the agency’s early history from 1941-1951, including the contributions of local businessmen and Emory University.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource REPORT FOR REGISTRATION OF MALARIA ERADICATION FROM UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Description An account of the resource On May 21, 1968, the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare requested the World Health Organization (WHO) via the Pan American Health Organization (PARO) to certify and register the United States as a nation that had achieved malaria eradication before 1957. This report responds to a U.S. Government request for certification and registration of the nation's malaria eradication status. It reviews past and current malaria data in the U.S., including Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. It also assesses medical and public health facilities and resources, such as reporting procedures, surveillance, laboratory services, research, and vector control activities. While the evaluation is complex due to various responsible agencies, the review confirms the country's long-standing freedom from endemic malaria, achieved through cooperative efforts and surveillance. However, the report cautions against complacency due to an increasing number of imported malaria cases and the presence of anopheline vectors in certain regions.

Title A name given to the resource Guinea Worm Description An account of the resource <div class="landing"> <p>Guinea worm is poised to be the second human disease to be eradicated. The Carter Center, with partners like the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, began leading the international campaign to eradicate Guinea worm disease in 1986. That year, it was estimated that 3.5 million cases occurred annually in 21 countries in Africa and Asia. Guinea worm disease is a painful and debilitating parasite that is contracted by drinking Guinea worm infected-water. There is no vaccine or drug to prevent the disease, only behavior change through health education. Working with the ministries of health and impacted communities, Guinea worm disease has been reduced by more than 99 percent. <span>During 2020, only 12 human cases of Guinea worm disease were reported in Chad, a dramatic 75 percent reduction from 48 the previous year. Eleven cases were reported in Ethiopia, and one each in South Sudan, Angola, Mali, and Cameroon. As for Guinea worm infections in animals, Chad reported 1,570 (1,507 domestic dogs, 61 domestic cats, and two wild cats), Ethiopia reported 15 (eight domestic dogs, three domestic cats, four baboons), and Mali reported eight infected domestic dogs. </span>The buttons to the right will connect you to a searchable database of oral histories, photographs and media.
