Abstract
“ANOPHELES GAMBIÆ in Brazil” is the title of a recent book1 by Fred L. Soper and D. Bruce Wilson, in which is related the story of the recent incursion, and defeat, of the African mosquito, Anopheles gambiœ Giles, into South America. The importance of this book is that it is the record of man's first whole-hearted deliberate attempt completely to eliminate a small insect vector of disease from a geographically large area.
