| The extent and duration of transmission of influenza A/New Jersey/76 virus at Fort Dix, New Jersey, was examined with use of titers of hemagglutination-inhibiting antibody to influenza A/Mayo Clinic/74 (Hsw1N1) antigen, as an index of infection. Five hundred ninety-three soldiers (a 9.3% sample) in basic combat training (BCT) were grouped in weekly cohorts by the date on which BCT was started. Cohorts with 11 of the 12 BCT cases of ... |
