有时，宝贵的历史教训会被遗忘、不为人所知，或更糟糕的是被忽视。这篇文章让我们想起了 19 世纪末安杰洛·切利 (Angelo Celli) 的开创性工作，他证明了通过对家中进行蚊子筛查可以保护人们免受疟疾的侵害。从那时起，公共卫生科学家不断证明，房屋设计的简单改变有可能保护人们免受这种危及生命的疾病的侵害。然而今天，这种类型的干预实际上仍然被忽视。这里回顾的文献展示了这些方法在减少疟疾方面的巨大潜力，希望它能激发科学辩论和进一步的研究。
Sometimes, valuable lessons from history are forgotten, remain unknown, or worse, are ignored. This article reminds us of the pioneering work of Angelo Celli at the end of the 19th century, who demonstrated that people could be protected from malaria by screening their homes against mosquitoes. Since then, public health scientists have continued to show that simple changes in house design have the potential for protecting people against this life-threatening disease. Yet today, this type of intervention remains virtually ignored. The literature reviewed here demonstrates the enormous potential of these methods to reduce malaria, in the hope that it will stimulate scientific debate and further research.
