The survey which the Arctic Health Research Center is carrying on is concerned with both the bacteriological and parasitological aspects of enteric infections in an Eskimo population of the lower Kuskokwim River area in southwestern Alaska. The purpose of the survey is to determine (1) the prevalence of reported diarrhea and actual infections, (2) the age groups involved, (3) the time of year of occurrence, and (4) the bacterial and parasitic agents involved. The survey will be extended to other Alaskan areas and will also include other native groups.
