Workers during 1920s dig mosquito-control ditch
This 1920s photograph, taken somewhere in the southern United States, shows workers digging a drainage ditch to help dispense standing water, a popular breeding ground for Anopheles quadrimaculatus mosquitoes. Vector control aims to decrease contacts between humans and vectors of human disease. Control of mosquitoes may prevent malaria as well as several other mosquito-borne diseases.
