At the present time there are renewed global efforts to control the
major tropical infections and to stem the tide of malnutrition, the
two serious, often intertwined, problems that contribute to much of
the morbidity and mortality in under- privileged populations. Many
international organizations have joined hands with national
governments and with the private sector to search for new
approaches to problems that beset much of the developing world,
including countries in the tropical region. This volume continues
the tradition of the previous publication in the Series. A variety
of fare is offered to readers: explanations of the activities and
achievements of the UNDP/World Bank/WHO Special Programme for Re-
search and Training in Tropical Diseases; and studies of infant
mortality, schistosomiasis, trypanosomiasis, helminths, lactase
deficiency, oral rehydration therapy, functional consequences of
iron deficiency, and fertility control. Au- thoritative
state-of-the-art reviews provide a critical analysis of recent
data. I hope the Series will continue to prove useful to all those
working in the tropics and to those in the industrialized countries
whose awareness of physical health problems of the Third World is
relatively limited. R. K. Chandra St. John's, Newfoundland VlI
