♪ (dramatic music)
00:26
- Public enemy number one, Anopheles, the malaria mosquito.
00:32
Wanted for willful spreading of disease
00:35
and theft of working hours.
00:37
For bringing sickness and misery to untold millions
00:41
in many parts of the world.
00:43
♪ (dramatic music)
00:45
This tiny criminal is linked to the destinies of man
00:49
in a cycle of disease transmission
00:51
that could not exist without either man or mosquito.
00:54
Each is solely dependent on the other
00:56
for the existence of the dread malaria.
01:00
Anopheles is readily distinguished
01:02
from other mosquitoes by the fact that she stands on her head
01:05
at an angle of 45 degrees or more.
01:09
This newly hatched female has not yet touched human blood,
01:13
therefore does not contain malaria.
01:16
But if we follow her, we'll soon learn
01:18
how she becomes a malaria carrier.
01:21
Like all thieves and killers,
01:24
she works best under cover of darkness.
01:26
♪ (dramatic music)
01:28
Locking and barring doors and windows
01:31
will not keep this hungry prowler out.
01:33
She can enter through a small crack.
01:35
♪ (dramatic music)
01:39
What will she find to steal here?
01:42
Only a little blood, which this man racked
01:45
with the chills and fever of malaria will never miss.
01:48
♪ (dramatic music)
01:51
Assuming her typical angle of 45 degrees or more,
01:55
she injects saliva to make penetration easier.
01:58
And in a few seconds she begins to feed.
02:02
But this man is sick.
02:04
Along with his blood, she's drinking in the parasites
02:07
which cause malaria.
02:10
Gorged with disease-laden blood,
02:13
she makes her way to some cool, dark place
02:16
where she will rest for several days and digest the blood.
02:20
Although the blood is digested,
02:22
the disease parasites are not harmed in any way.
02:25
On the contrary, they multiply to great numbers.
02:29
Hungry again, she flies out as evening falls
02:33
in search of blood.
02:34
This time she carries with her the malaria parasites
02:38
with which she is infected.
02:40
♪ (dramatic music)
02:45
Enjoying the peace and plenty of the home
02:47
he's worked so hard to build,
02:49
this man is healthy and happy.
02:51
Little does he suspect he's to be the victim
02:53
of this bloodthirsty vampire.
02:56
♪ (dramatic music)
02:58
Again, saliva is injected to make penetration easy.
03:01
But this time the saliva contains malaria parasites
03:04
which enter the bloodstream.
03:07
She dines on healthy blood,
03:09
and in payment leaves the chills and fever of malaria.
03:13
♪ (dramatic music)
03:15
In all probability, this man will not die,
03:18
but neither will he truly be alive,
03:20
for he'll be continually in poor health,
03:23
unable to work and keep up his farm.
03:27
Slowly he will lose all he has worked for.
03:30
His crops will rot in the fields,
03:33
his buildings and fences fall into disrepair.
03:36
His livestock will be neglected,
03:38
and he'll be unable to earn the money
03:40
to feed and clothe his family.
03:43
Multiply this man's tragedy by numberless cases
03:47
all over the world, and we have millions of dollars lost,
03:50
as well as untold misery for the victims.
03:54
And all because of this tiny criminal
03:57
which has assumed the proportions of a monster.
03:59
♪ (dramatic music)
04:02
Are there six or seven people in the audience
04:04
who will volunteer to help us combat this evil?
04:06
♪ (whimsical music)
04:08
(bell rings)
04:10
(whistling)
04:10
Good! Well thank you, men.
04:13
But before we can attack the enemy,
04:15
there are certain facts we must know.
04:18
The first and all important fact is this...
04:21
The Anopheles mosquito must have water to lay her eggs in.
04:25
♪ (soft music)
04:27
These eggs float about and soon hatch
04:30
into larvae or wigglers,
04:33
which lie parallel to the surface
04:34
where they feed and breathe.
04:37
In this larva stage, the mosquito is easy to control.
04:41
After seven to ten days, the larva becomes a pupa,
04:45
or tumbler, and can still be controlled.
04:48
But once she emerges from the pupa as an adult,
04:52
she can slip through our fingers
04:53
and become a menace to human life
04:55
within a mile of her birthplace.
04:58
All right men, now we can begin to fight.
05:00
♪ (dramatic music)
05:06
♪ (dramatic music)
05:08
We can start by cutting the weeds
05:10
where the mosquito lays her eggs.
05:13
♪ (dramatic music)
05:16
(wiggle sound)
05:18
♪ (dramatic music)
05:21
This makes it easy for the fish to get in
05:23
and eat the wigglers.
05:25
♪ (dramatic music)
05:27
Spraying oil on the water is a sure way
05:30
of killing mosquito larvae of all kinds.
05:32
The oil enters the breathing tube
05:34
and promptly kills the wiggler.
05:36
♪ (dramatic music)
05:42
Those are wigglers, Dopey.
05:44
Give 'em the oil treatment.
05:46
(wiggle sound)
05:47
That'll kill 'em.
05:48
♪ (dramatic music)
05:51
Dusting with Paris green is an effective way
05:54
of killing wigglers, and is economical
05:56
for covering large areas of water.
05:58
A thin film of Paris green is strong enough
06:01
to kill the wigglers without poisoning the fish.
06:04
♪ (dramatic music)
06:07
Mosquitoes must have water to breed in.
06:11
♪ (dramatic music)
06:12
These pools will always be a menace to our health,
06:15
unless we drain the water away.
06:18
(mole snorting)
06:20
(laughing) There's one way of doing it.
06:23
Even this hollow stump can harbor mosquito larvae.

Say, that looks like smoke.
06:35
Let's go in and see.
06:37
Atta boy, Dopey!
06:38
Spray all the dark corners and under things.
06:41
You'll find mosquitoes where you least expect them.

If you want to keep the rain barrel free from wigglers,

let's put a screen over it.

So we're going to bury these cans.

To avoid being bitten by anopheles,

Don't let her get away!

Yes, even the small cracks in the floor must be sealed.

(snoring)
08:48
And so we leave them to enjoy their well-earned rest,
09:00
free from the annoyance of mosquitoes,
09:02
safe from the dread malaria.
09:05
Contrast their peace and happiness
09:08
with the misery and sorrow of this unfortunate,
09:11
plague-ridden family.
09:13
These people have lost everything,
09:15
simply because they failed to take a few easy precautions.
09:19
Remember, there is only one cause of malaria,
09:23
the mosquito.
09:24
Destroy the mosquito and you will wipe out the disease.
09:28
Then in place of sickness and poverty,
09:30
there will be health, safety and happiness.
