In a press release dated 15 September 2006, the WHO seemed to be indicating a new focus in its strategy on the fight against malaria in respect of the use of DDT. Since the 1970s, which saw the implementation of a ban on the use of DDT as a pesticide in many industrialised nations, including the USA and European states, this agent has continued to be used in many developing countries as a means to tackle malaria.
