Public Health Research Project Underway Here
Public health agencies have conducted field research in Thomasville since 1947 showing that fly control reduces certain diseases. Dr. John D. Stillwell says sanitation and preventing fly breeding are the most cost effective defense. The Thomasville effort is led by the City Sanitary Department with the U S Public Health Service and local health departments. Entomologist Dr. Dale R. Lindsay notes prior studies in Texas and the lower Rio Grande Valley proving flies spread diarrheal disease, with Thomasville chosen for a southeastern state profile. Similar projects span Italy to England under World Health Organization encouragement. The aim is constant sanitation improvement through garbage management and housewife practices.
