It was a bad year for Malaria as compared with 1359, and
the Incidence in Manama rose from 7/ to 11 5*- t ■,
showed a low figure, owing to its easieranti-malBrlalc tr ,
the success of the Basatin drainage on the B. A.F. ground. Its
drier soil and the comparative small number of date gardens.
Sitra’s figure of lOg would have been increased if no anti-
malaria measures had not been done there. Rifa’a and Badaya
cave the worst figures, because little control work is done
there Studying the monthly incidence of Malaria, May an.. June
were again fou£d to be the months for severe infection, seconded
by December.
On the whole the high infection of Malaria for 1360 was
disappointing, and can only be explained by the severe rainlall
of Hovember and December of 1359. Additional very strict and
intensified measures were carried out in Manama one month befor
the known bad months of May and June, so one can only conclude
that an epidemic of major importance would have resulted but
for the anti-malarial work.
