Аннотация

Describes, from a longer report (cf. No. 64724.) studies of sanitation practices and problems of wound healing and fly-borne contamination at Camp Tuto, 14 mi from the Thule Air Force Base, supplemented with data from two camps on the icecap. Bacteria from water supplies, from surface snow, and soil and also bacteria from wounds and from flies were isolated, identified and counted. No evidence of water contamination was found though bacteria appear to survive the arctic winter in the soil.
