Abstract

Summary There is strong presumptive evidence that outbreaks of an acute infectious disease similar to the “virus gastro-enteritis” studied by American and Japanese workers occur in coastal resorts in the South-West of England. An account is given of one such outbreak investigated with the help of a research committee of hotel-keepers in the resort affected. A plea is made for a more intensive epidemiological and virological study of the group of gastro-intestinal diseases probably due to hitherto unknown viruses.
