The ultimate purpose is to investigate changing incidence of these parasites in relation to the long-term development of this important strate gic area where living standards are low and health measures commonly inadequate. Research will continue at an increased rate with the aid of nearly 100 consultants, utilizing information from nine countries concerning diseases now listed as 128. The new material will be tabulated and available upon request. (Author)
