Disinfection, disinfestation and deratting (DDD) are unpopular measures, but by deratting, the plague has been restricted to small areas of the globe; in addition, yellow fever and malaria have been eradicated in those areas where the transmitting insects have been killed, and disinfection has been an invaluable weapon against cholera and salmonellosis.
