As we approach the end of this millennium, enteric diseases remain
impor tant public health problems. In many parts of the world,
sanitary measures have advanced little over the last century,
although some of the governments in those areas are striving to
improve facilities for sanitation and to educate their people in
proper handling of food, water, sewage, and other modes of
transmission of pathogenic microbes. Even in highly developed
countries, outbreaks of diarrheal diseases occur today. Globally,
the annual morbidity from enteric infections is estimated at
several billion and deaths at several million per year. In this
volume, descriptions of some of these diseases, of immunity that
results from them, of clinical studies that promote under standing
of individual and community immunity, of molecular factors of
pathogenesis, and/or of advances in vaccine development have been
pro vided by leading researchers. At present, the application of
molecular methods is enhancing the identification of protective
antigens of many microorganisms. In addition, new methods for
design and delivery of vac cines are being devised. Perhaps then
more effective tools for reducing at least some of these diseases
will be available within the next decade. Lois J. Paradise Herman
