When did the Division of Entomology replace the Bureau of Malaria Control?

The Division of Entomology replaced the Bureau of Malaria Control in 1946. This transition was significant as it marked a shift in focus towards a broader understanding of insect-borne diseases beyond just malaria. The formation of the Division of Entomology emphasized the importance of comprehensive entomological studies in public health and pest control, reflecting the evolving nature of public health concerns related to vectors and diseases. This change also aligned with advancements in scientific research and the need for specialized divisions to tackle the increasing recognition of vector-borne illnesses more effectively.
