Abstract
THE fifth annual report of the Research Institute and the Endemic Diseases Hospitals, Cairo, by the director, Dr. M. Khalil Bey, contains a summary of the reports of the scientific sections and the clinical reports, including investigations on Egyptian splenomegaly, anaemias and various parasitic affections. A report is also included of the work of the Khanka Malaria Research Station. This gives the results of a mosquito survey of the area, with the species of mosquitoes found, and a description of some of the preventive measures undertaken. These include drainage, filling up of water holes and clearance of water-weeds in places. Breeding places of mosquitoes are treated with Paris green when there are Anophelines only, or with mazout oil if Culex larvae are also present. In future, the Institute will be named the “Fouad the First Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases”.
