Abstract
Typhoid fever is one of the prevailing endemic diseases of Palestine. In 1925 and 1926 epidemic outbreaks of considerable magnitude occurred in various parts of the country (Kligler, 1927). As a part of a general programme of the study of the epidemiology of this disease, we have attempted to ascertain the incidence of typhoid carriers in a general population group. Owing to the large number of typhoid cases which occurred there in 1925 and 1926, Afule, a village of some 1200 inhabitants, was chosen as a desirable spot for such an investigation.Keywords
