Abstract
A review of the diseases to which our military forces may be exposed indicates that very few diseases of foreign origin are likely to present public health problems as the result of infections introduced by returning troops. It may be stated with considerable confidence that the chief hazards in the importation of exotic diseases are from the introduction of new strains of parasites already present, and the introduction of new vectors of disease.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
