That same year, the Communicable Disease Center, later called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was founded in Atlanta from staff of the former Malaria Control in War Areas offices.
I 1946 blev Communicable Disease Center (centret for overførte sygdomme), senere kaldet Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (centrene til sygdomskontrol og forebyggelse), grundlagt i Atlanta med ansatte fra det gamle Malaria Control in War Areas (malariakontrol i krigsområder).
