It is posited that diarrhoeal illness during one period has influence on diarrhoeal illness in a subsequent period. This relationship may potentially mask the association between malnutrition and subsequent diarrhoea. To test this, ... -
Role of plasmids in virulence -associated attributes and in O-antigen expression in shigella dysenteriae type 1 strains
The association of plasmids with virulence characters and O-antigen expression was studied in two virulent and seven avirulent mutant strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1. Deletion of a 12-Mda segment from a 140-Mda plasmid i... -
Breast milk zinc and copper concentrations in Bangladesh
Breast-fed infants in Bangladeshi villages were weighed at 1, 2, 6, 9 and 12 months. The concentrations of zinc and copper in the breast milk were measured and the daily intake of these elements calculated. Breast mil... -
Attachment of toxigenic Vibrio cholerae 01 to various freshwater plants and survival with a filamentous green alga, Rhizoclonium fontanum

Lack of impact of a water and sanitation intervention on the nutritional status of children in rural Bangladesh
The nutritional impact of a water and sanitation intervention in a rural community of Bangladesh, comprising the provision of handpumps, construction of latrines and hygiene education was assessed. During 3 years, the quarterly anth... -
Depletion of hepatic glycogen in the hypoglycaemia of fatal childhood diarrhoeal illnesses
To determine whether depletion of liver glycogen or accumulation of liver fat (steatosis) was associated with the development of hypoglycaemia in children with fatal diarrhoeal illnesses, a case-control study was carried out comparing&#x... -
Measuring change in nutritional status: a comparison of different anthropometric indices and the sample sizes required
The usefulness of different anthropometric indices to detect nutritional changes at the community level, ie, in a number of children considered as a group, was compared by using data from a longitudinal study from rural Ba... -

To estimate inaccuracy in a diarrhoea recall survey mothers of pre-school children in Teknaf, Bangladesh were interviewed every week from July 1980 through June 1983. Because the likelihood of an episode starting on any given&#... -
Hemagglutinating properties of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 and other Shigella species
Strains of Shigella dysenteriae type 1 cultured in Casamino Acids-yeast extract broth medium in the presence of 1 mM calcium chloride at 37 degrees C for 22 h induced hemagglutination of erythrocytes that was inhibited by&... -
Clinical trial of clonidine hydrochloride as an antisecretory agent in cholera
Clonidine hydrochloride (an alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist) was tested for antisecretory effects in patients with cholera in a randomized controlled trial. Nineteen adults with diarrhea due to Vibrio cholerae were treated with clonidine (0... -
Birth-interval dynamics in rural Bangladesh and maternal weight
