Annual Report of Malaria Bureau.
Notification of Malaria.
The Bureau has been handicapped by the lack of notifica- tion of malaria and a condition of affairs has arisen in the last year which has made its reinstitution still more necessary. Up to this year the number of mosquitoes brought into the controlled area by vehicular traffic from the New Territories was very gmall and was limited to a few lorries and an hourly bus service to Un Long. With the advent of the Army the volume of traffic of all descriptions coming into both Kowloon and the Island from the New Territories increased tremendously. In addition to this the civilian traffic has increased to 14,000 vehicles, a proportion of which returns nightly from the New Territories bathing beaches. It can be clearly seen that notification is very important to check up these imported foci of infection into the controlled areas of Hong Kong and Kowloon.
