| Abstract: | It appears probable that the rapid disappearance of Mediterranean fever from Gibraltar, which commenced in 1885, was intimately associated with the exodus of infected goats from the Rock. Improved sanitary conditions, especially the disconnection of waste pipes and house drains from sewers, may have had a part in causing the decrease of fever, but as the same sanitary improvements have been carried out in Malta without any corresponding decline of Mediterranean fever, it is fair to assume that their effect was insignificant compared with that produced by the removal of infected goats. |
