I want to know the what measures they are still continuing to controll the disease

Use DDT spray
Removing all containers of water

Yeah I agree DDT.

But it's a shocker when it got into the food and water, so getting rid of malaria was a good thing, but poisoning everyone wasn't.

Not sure about the covering of water containers though, coz there's a few too many wet rice crops grown in Asia to be able to cover the lot of them. Though we could introduce fish to these same wet rice crop areas that eat the mosquito lava and that might help stem the tide of malaria???

I got this from a TV doco some weeks back.
