The relevance of the medical entomology was considered with respect to current framework of malaria control programs in Colombia. A responsibility is indicated for balancing control efforts along with providing information on the malaria vectors. This knowledge must be acquired in order to focus the related activities that are required. The malaria control program must be based on results of local entomological surveillance, and the data must be in a form to give practical answers to questions regarding the control program. Difficulties in undertaking the required studies are described, particularly regarding the taxonomic identification of Colombian Anopheles in Colombia and which of these can be incriminated as malaria vectors.
从哥伦比亚疟疾控制项目的当前框架角度考虑了医学昆虫学的相关性。指出有责任在平衡控制工作的同时提供有关疟疾媒介的信息。必须获取这些知识，以便集中开展所需的相关活动。疟疾控制项目必须基于当地昆虫学监测的结果，并且数据必须以能够实际回答有关控制项目问题的形式呈现。描述了开展所需研究的困难，特别是关于哥伦比亚按蚊在哥伦比亚的分类鉴定以及其中哪些可被认定为疟疾媒介。
