Diminished diarrheal response to Vibrio cholerae strains carrying the replicative form of the CTX(Phi) genome instead of CTX(Phi) lysogens in adult rabbits
Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae strains are lysogens of CTX(Phi), a filamentous bacteriophage which encodes cholera toxin (CT). Following infection of recipient V. cholerae cells by CTX(Phi), the phage genome either integrates into the host&#x... -
A cost-minimization approach to planning the geographical distribution of health facilities
This paper illustrates a method of planning the geographic distribution of health facilities in order to maximize the social benefits achievable from the investment. Data from Bangladesh have been used to determine the optimal ... -
