""In 1973, after DDT had been used for malaria control for over a decade, there were less than 400 cases of malaria in all of South Africa," DDT was never banned for control of disease vectors. This has been pointed out to you before. So you are deliberately lying about this. According to the WHO, the curve for SE Asia is very different. searo.who.int Note the bottom of the curve is 1967. Reported cases then rose to 7.2 million cases by 1976. Now, the upswing started well before the global ban on DDT for agricultural use. So, why the increase? Two reasons. One, the parasite developed resistance to the most common anti-malarial drugs. Two, because of widespread usage, mosquitoes developed resistance to DDT. This problem was exacerbated by the heavy use of DDT for agricultural reasons.
