Concentrations of HCH and DDT in human and bovine milk were determined in two areas under malaria control namely, BHEL, Hardwar with bioenvironmental control strategy and rural and urban areas of Bahadrabad PHC of Hardwar district with residual spraying of insecticides. Mean HCH and DDT residues in human milk in BHEL were 0.027 and 0.021 mg/kg, while from Bahadrabad were 0.089 and 0.149 mg/kg respectively. Similarly, mean HCH and DDT contents in bovine milk from BHEL were 0.019 and 0.008 mg/kg, while 0.058 and 0.029 mg/kg, respectively from Bahadrabad. Statistically significant differences were recorded in HCH and DDT levels in human and bovine milk samples between BHEL and Bahadrabad areas of Hardwar district. The mean levels of HCH and DDT in bovine milk samples did not exceed the maximum residual limit of 0.05 mg/kg from BHEL whereas, 38.5% samples from Bahadrabad area exceeded this limit.

Alongitudinal study was conducted in four indicator villages of PHC Shankargarh, District Allahabad, U.P. from July 1991 to June 1992 to have information on seasonality of indoor resting anopheline species in silica sand/hard stone quarry area. Fourteen anopheline species namely, An. aconitus (0.35%), An. annularis (17.03%), An. barbirostris (0.09%), An. culicifacies (36.74%), An. fluviatilis (0.13%), An. nigerrimus (0.01%), An. pallidus (4.40%), An. splendidus (0.02%), An. stephensi (0.01%), An. subpictus (40.84%), An. tessellatus (0.15%), An. turkhudi (0.004%), An. vagus (0.20%) and An. varuna (0.02%) were collected. An. culicifacies, An. subpictus and An. annularis were found throughout the year. An. fluviatilis, An. pallidus, An. vagus and An. aconitus were also observed in all the seasons except extreme summer. However, An. barbirostris and An. splendidus were collected only in monsoon/post-monsoon and winter seasons. An. tessellatus and An. stephensi were recorded in winter and spring seasons. An. nigerrimus and An. varuna were recorded in winter, while An. turkhudi in spring. Prolonged high vector density may be attributed to the extended malaria transmission in this area.
