(i) DDT

According to the DDT register, three countries have notified use of DDT in disease vector control and one country notified the intention to use DDT if necessary.

3.4 Current Management of DDT

And you put a drop, in this case, of urine at the bottom.

If you put one drop, one drop of something, in that water, it'll change it forever.

But DDT sprayed on local homes, there's nothing better to eliminate malaria, besides insect DDT impregnated mosquito nets.

Drop by drop, the water can conglomerate into a lake.

Okay, we could talk about Rachel Carson and DDT, but we know it wasn't good for you and me.

Resistance to DDT is also widespread.

Evaluation and reporting mechanisms relating to DDT

Two main opportunities exist through which current reliance on DDT may be reduced in a sustainable manner, where DDT is currently used for indoor residual spray

The efficacy of DDT and its alternatives is important information for deciding the actual need for DDT for disease vector control in any local area.

Of the eight countries reporting use of DDT through the questionnaire, three reported data indicating the presence of resistance to DDT.

The development of vector resistance to insecticide replacements for DDT, particularly pyrethroids, is a serious threat to the reduction of current reliance on DDT.

All of a sudden, large drops of rain began falling from the dark sky.

(c) Establishment of a register for DDT and a format for notifications of use

Another important source of information used was the DDT Register.

In order to ensure that the use of DDT is restricted to disease vector control, there is a need to support countries still using DDT to urgently review and improve their management practices, especially the regulatory and enforcement mechanisms.

(b) The availability, suitability and implementation of the alternatives to DDT and

Situation analysis of the production and use of DDT for disease vector control

None of the countries responding to the questionnaire reported production of DDT.

This will consequently lead to reducing reliance on DDT and other pesticides.

Drop size

The small stuff counts.

You still see the beeswax dripping. When they dropped, they sealed it.

Evaluation of the continued need for DDT for disease vector control

An alternative to DDT may be broadly defined in two ways.

Several countries reporting use of DDT also reported usable stocks of DDT. Some of these stocks were not properly stored (e.g. open shed storage).

A significant finding from the reporting is that both countries using and countries not using DDT, have problems with obsolete stocks of DDT, often mixed with other pesticides.

The first step in reducing current reliance on DDT is to improve the capacity of local malaria vector control programmes to determine where and when DDT is needed and how much of it is needed.

You know the Hindus are killing us Muslims. Be careful.

There wasn't DDT, there wasn't chloroquines what do they do?

OK? So, what you're doing is, you're going la, la, la, and you're getting this. OK?
