Abstract

It is a great honor for me to be invited to give this Soper Lecture. I met Fred Soper only once—at the 6th International Congresses of Tropical Medicine and Malaria at Lisbon in 1958. I had, of course, known of him for a number of years beforehand, and had read with the greatest interest his account of how Anopheles gambiae was halted in its invasion of Brazil and finally expelled from an area of some 18,000 square miles. In his lifetime, Soper was associated with many significant achievements in diverse fields of public health, but to me as a malariologist none compares with his eradication of Anopheles gambiae from Brazil. More than 40 years later, this episode still stands as one of the most significant victories that man has scored over malaria and epitomizes Soper's administrative genius and technological competence.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
