利用关键线人和现有记录，研究了斯里兰卡努瓦拉卡拉维亚村purana村居民在ddt前时代应对疟疾的方式。这项研究发现，Nuwarakalaviya农民通过当地的草药传统来应对地方性疟疾，这在某种程度上独立于整个南亚共同的阿育吠陀学术体系。相关的草药传统，包括使用当地可用的自然资源的抗寄生虫和抗媒介策略的组合，代表了对当地生态系统的有效适应。
Using key informants and available records, the way in which inhabitants of purana villages in Nuwarakalaviya, Sri Lanka coped with malaria during the pre-DDT era is examined. This study found that the Nuwarakalaviya peasants responded to endemic malaria through a localized herbal tradition, which was to some extent independent of the scholarly ayurveda system common to the whole of South Asia. The relevant herbal tradition, consisting of a combination of antiparasite and antivector strategies using locally available natural resources, represented an effective adaptation to the local ecosystem.
