• Description:
  In July 1948, the Communicable Disease Center established investigative programs in five States to study the possible relationship between flies and the transmission of poliomyelitis. The projects are located at Phoenix, Ariz.; Topeka, Kans.; Muskegon, Mich.; Charleston, W. Va.; and Troy, N. Y. During the 5-year tenure of these programs, detailed epidemiological studies and operational fly control activities will be carried on at each city. The epidemiologic studies have been broadened to include other disease problems. All municipalities bear a significant portion of the operating cost of their respective programs.
