In view of the prevalence of sandfly fever in this area, the following notes are published as regards certain preventive measures:
(
a) |
Sandflies breed very rapidly when the temperature and humidity become favourable, generally April to May, reaching their highest number in August and September.
|
(
b) |
Old rough and pitted walls and heaps of rubble are the usual breeding places. The undulating desert or ground with a smooth surface is less favourable. It is desirable, therefore, that heaps of rubble should be removed from the neighbourhood of barrack rooms, or when removal is impossible, buried in sand.
