Mighty Minnow Minimizes
Malaria Mosquito Menace
By a Coast Guard Correspondent
AT A COAST GUARD BASE
SOMEWHERE IN NEW GUINEA
(Special).—Malaria-control officers
in this sector are using dynamite
and bombs against mosquitoes in
stead of Japs, and they have the
wholehearted cooperation of the
Betty Grable of the minnow family.
Tlie queen of minnows, with a
figure that quickens the eye and the
grace of a ballet dancer, is known
as a gambusia. It feeds on the
larvae of the anopheles mosquito,
carrier of the deadly malaria.
American and Australian malaria
control officials, according to Dr.
giuff E. Hopla, have been natching
the gambusia in large quantities
for stocking stagnant pools of
water near Coast Guard, Navy,
Marine, and Army bases here.
In cases where a stagnant pool
is too infested for the gambusia
alone to cope with, Dr. Hopla and
his associates plant dynamite
sticks and blow the pool out of
existence, thus destroying the
breeding grounds.
Sometimes aerosol “bombs" are
employed. They are not explosive
in character but produce a continu
ous, poisonous spray that kills not
only mosquitoes but flies and other
insects. The “bombs" are about
the size of a small fire extinguisher.
