Birds Thought To Spread Malaria
Birds, not mosqujtoes, spread malarial parasites in the jungles of Assam, on the Indo-Burma frontier, according to Indian scientists. The Malaria Institute of India has decided to conduct a “blood test” of the birds of Assam and a group of scientists will set out-on this task shortly. The jungles of Assam have about 600 varieties of birds. Those transmitting malarial germs will be exterminated.
