Parasitological surveys in the itinerant labour camps of Delhi revealed that malaria was one of the most common causes of morbidity, P. vivax cases start early in spring and reach high numbers in August-September. During the same period, a sudden spurt in falciparum malaria results in high morbidity due to falciparum and vivax malaria. In later months, the incidence of P. vivax goes down but falciparum malaria remains at that level till the onset of extreme winter. A. stephensi was incriminated as the vector in September 1983. Studies brought out the importance of hutments in the epidemiology of malaria in Delhi.
