Abstract

During fiscal year 1975 there were 47 tuberculous herds disclosed in the United States. Figure 1 shows the distribution of these 47 herds in 16 different states and Puerto Rico. You will note that 42 of these 47 herds happen to be located east of the Mississippi River, with Georgia and Illinois accounting for 20 of these herds. This statement is not intended to downgrade either of these states but rather to praise them for their excellence in conducting their tuberculosis epidemiologic investigations.
