CDC History and Recent Activities

The CDC was created on July 1, 1946 as the Communicable Disease Center, to fight malaria by killing mosquitoes. Over 50% of its personnel was engaged in this important work, with the key jobs going to entomologists. The first budget was under $10 million, and its primary weapon was the now banned insecticide DDT.CDC: Our History - Our Story
The CDC is today globally recognized for its research and coordination of information and findings to respond to health emergencies. In 2009, these emergencies have included the salmonella and swine flu outbreaks.CDC: Our History - Our Story
