Abstract
1- INTRODUCTION
Malaria has been known for many years as one of the
most important human disease, details of its nature and
transmission have been elucidated only in modern times.
The existence of the parasite was discovered by Laveran
in 1R94. Withen the next four to five years details of
the life cycle and experimental transmission of the parasite
were demonestrated by Ross, Grassi, Chandler and
others. Intelligent efforts at malaria control, therefore
have come only in the twentieth contury.
The presence of malaria has been noted in Egypt
since ancient times. The presence of malaria in swia oasis
was mentioned by the historian Makrezi in the 15th century,
by Algabarti in 1816 and by stanely in 1911.
The number of infected persons may be as high as one
million persons per year. In 1959 the economic losses
caused by this disease were about 8 millions E.P.
In Egypt the overflow of surplus irrigation water
in various ways furnishes suitable breeding places for
anophelines, this together with the favourable climatic
conditions encourage the establishment and widespread of
several anophelines mainly, An. Pharoensis, An. sergenti,
