CDC is the first federal health organization established in the United States. Its purpose is to coordinate the national health control plan in the face of specific diseases. These diseases include interpersonal transmission, animal and insect transmission and environmental transmission. The predecessor of CDC was the Malaria Control Office in Temporary War Zone (MCWA) established by the US federal government during World War II (1939~ 1945). Although the initial goal was malaria, MCWA gradually expanded its scope of responsibility from 1943 and began to defend against dengue fever and yellow fever transmitted by mosquitoes. 1945, MCWA took charge of typhus again.
