Malaria at one time infected 90% of the population of Borneo. In 1955, a World Health Organization began a DDT spraying programme which virtually eliminated malaria. But other things began to happen. Besides killing mosquitoes, the DDT also killed other insects that lived in the houses, such as flies and cockroach. This insects were the favourite food of geckos(small lizards). And so when the geckos ate the dead insects, they died from DDT poisoning. Similar, the house cats ate the dead geckos and crockroaches, and they died from DDT poisoning, too. As a result, the rat population rose sharply, and the human population of Borneo began to die from a type of plague carried by fleas on the rats. In order to deal with the emergency, thousands of cats were parachuted into the island, in what was called as “Operation Cat Drop”. | Line 1 Line 2 Line 3 Line 4 Line 5 Line 6 Line 7 Line 8 Line 9 Line 10 |
