Entomological research and its specific course in Iran from 1935 to 2008

Malaria remains an important vector-borne disease globally and is a threat for human life. Forty percent of the world’s populations who are living in low-income countries are at risk of malaria. The disease exists in Iran and caused economic and social damages. As result of malaria control program that has been done during the past years، the disease is eliminated from the most parts of the country، so that it is only reporting from a small part in these years. During this study، all available papers، books and thesises were reviewed and articles from Iranmedex، DIS and PubMed databanks were also used. Furthermore the related reports from different sources were noted. The extensive studies have important information about malaria vectors. In this study the data about malaria vectors and related training courses are listed. During this study the related papers، Books and thesises which have been reviewed. Although efforts، surveillance system، diagnostic and treatment facilities، as well as knowledge and attitude of peoples regarding to health behavior are improved nowadays، there are significant improvements about decreasing the malaria cases. Risk of the disease exists because of population exchange and asymptomatic cases. The malaria can be studied with both public health and economical aspects. This paper represents entomological studies of malaria during 1935 by the end of 2008. our study revealed that، based on recent malaria national program، the authorities should make an emphasis on vector control monitoring، resistance management، malaria evaluation and because of weak supervision on all malaria operation at stage of elimination of malaria، accurate and careful suppersional require to reach the objective and goal of elimination.
