          Abstract

          Se realizó una recuperación de información de la legislación sobre plaguicidas organoclorados en Venezuela, utilizando el motor de búsqueda Google. Se hizo un análisis de avances y retrocesos, incorporando información sobre importaciones, exportaciones, inventarios, sitios de almacenamiento, controles y acciones emprendidas para su eliminación, así como la participación en convenios internacionales. Se evidenció que el país cuenta aparentemente con una legislación adecuada, pero se requiere de mayor coherencia entre las diferentes leyes y decretos. Además, es necesario actualizar la norma técnica e incrementar la capacidad para el control, identificación y eliminación de plaguicidas organoclorados.

          Translated abstract

          Information about organochlorine pesticides legislation in Venezuela was recovered, using the search engine Google. Progress and setbacks was analyzed, with information about imports, exports, inventories, storage sites, controls and actions taken for disposal and participation in international conventions. The country appears to have adequate legislation, however, greater consistency of laws and decrees are required. Update the technical rule is necessary and increases the capacity to monitoring, identification and elimination of organochlorine pesticides.

          DDT, global strategies, and a malaria control crisis in South America.

          Malaria is reemerging in endemic-disease countries of South America. We examined the rate of real growth in annual parasite indexes (API) by adjusting APIs for all years to the annual blood examination rate of 1965 for each country. The standardized APIs calculated for Brazil, Peru, Guyana, and for 18 other malaria-endemic countries of the Americas presented a consistent pattern of low rates up through the late 1970s, followed by geometric growth in malaria incidence in subsequent years. True growth in malaria incidence corresponds temporally with changes in global strategies for malaria control. Underlying the concordance of these events is a causal link between decreased spraying of homes with DDT and increased malaria; two regression models defining this link showed statistically significant negative relationships between APIs and house-spray rates. Separate analyses of data from 1993 to 1995 showed that countries that have recently discontinued their spray programs are reporting large increases in malaria incidence. Ecuador, which has increased use of DDT since 1993, is the only country reporting a large reduction (61%) in malaria rates since 1993. DDT use for malaria control and application of the Global Malaria Control Strategy to the Americas should be subjects of urgent national and international debate. We discuss the recent actions to ban DDT, the health costs of such a ban, perspectives on DDT use in agriculture versus malaria control, and costs versus benefits of DDT and alternative insecticides.
