title: Epidemiological Study of an Endemic Focus of Leprosy.
abstract: In this focus the authors found the majority of cases to be among native-born children of German-born parents, males preponderating, and largely infected in the locality. It is uncertain whether the infected area is increasing. Cases are grouped in distinct foci and insect transmission is inadequate to explain the grouping while contact transfer is not wholly satisfactory.
