Antibody studies in the Kuru region. Immunological epidemiology of population groups in and adjacent to the Kuru region in Papua New Guinea. I. Enteroviruses.

Abstract
A serological survey is reported for antibodies to Coxsackie, ECHO and polioviruses on sera collected in the kuru region of Papua New Guinea during earliest European contacts with kuru-affected and control populations through the period of highest kuru incidence. The results are discussed in the light of increasing European contact over the period of investigation. Suggestions are made concerning possible immunization programs with polioviruses.
