Two important things happen when a disease becomes infrequent. continues the article. First, there is loss of respect foi the danger of the disease, and second, a loss of naturally acquired and/or stimulated immunity. This is true because smallpox and diphtheria still exist in other parts of the world and during the last few years there were demonstrations of ihe ease and rapidity with which these diseases could be introduced intd and disseminated throughout the populations where they had not occurred for long periods of time. It concludes by stating that no populations can be considered safe from smallpox and diphtheria unless the immune status of the group is kept constantly at a high level. The only really satisfactory level is 100 per cent.
