An effective programme for the control of filariasis in Tahiti.

An effective filariasis research and control programme has been recently established in Tahiti. This article describes the methods used for preliminary investigation of the clinical manifestations of the disease, the prevalence of the parasite and the role of the vector mosquitos. Control was effected by eliminating mosquito breeding-places and administering diethylcarbamazine to the population. An estimate is made of the costs and comparative value of the various procedures which were tried.

Are Streptomyces bacteria involved in the ciguatoxicity of the surgeon fish Ctenochaetus striatus?

Several Streptomyces strains have been isolated from the digestive tract of the herbivorous fish C. striatus, a preeminent ciguateric fish of Polynesian waters. In order to study the possible role played by these bacteria in the toxicity of this fish, the quantitative and qualitative distributions of these isolates within toxic and non toxic fish are compared. The preliminary results are discussed.
