POLIOMYELITIS IN CANADIAN ESKIMOS
View through CrossRef
Studies of the basic immunology of poliomyelitis in Canadian Eskimos have been continued. The sera of 24 Eskimos living at Lake Harbour and of 99 at Pangnirtung, Baffin Island, have been tested for poliomyelitis antibody by means of the Lansing virus neutralization test. Poliomyelitis occurred in Lake Harbour in 1943 but has not been recorded in Pangnirtung. Eighteen of the 24 sera from Lake Harbour contained antibody, but only 10 from the 99 Pangnirtung residents. The positive sera from Pangnirtung were all in persons aged 18 and over. These results are compared with those previously reported by the authors with the sera of Eskimos at Chesterfield Inlet, and with those reported by Paul with the sera of North Alaskan Eskimos. The evidence suggests that poliomyelitis virus is world-wide in distribution.
