1987年行政院環境保護著成立,病媒管制工作劃歸該著職掌,隨之於1988年登革熱大流行,病息超過一萬人,醫學昆蟲學在台灣遂再度被重槐。游是行政院環境保護著環境衛生及毒物管理處乃增加人力與經費,成立病媒管制科,專責病媒管制事宜,1989年登革熱因此得以有效控制,益增病媒管制工作之重要性。此外,台灣地區近年來經濟發展,國民生活水準提高,環境害蟲造成居民日常生活莫大之困擾。為提升國民之生活環境品質,病媒害蟲之防治極為迫切,是故建議趁此時機加弦培訓有關工作人員,成立病媒生態及管制學會,出版英文期刊,設法與國外學術機構加孩聯擊。文內並列舉若干有關病媒防治的研究項目,作為參考。
Following the establishment of the En-vironmental Protection Administration in 1987 and the occurrence ofthedengueepide-mic in 1 988 , resurgent interest and need have been created to promote and support medical entomology in Taiwan . Steps should be taken to strengthen the training of workers in medi-cal entomology , to establish a society for vector ecology and control , to issue periodi-cals in English , and to coordinate with foreign institution . Items for applied research on vector and best control are suggested .
