title: A partnership in epidemiological research.
abstract: Four medical research teams completed ten epidemiological investigations in Djibouti and thus provided the country's Ministry of Health with valuable information on infectious disease risks. A major factor contributing to the success of the work was the high degree of cooperation between the Ministry, a United States naval medical research unit, and the World Health Organization as coordinator.
