Differences in Australia Antigen Carrier Rates in Northern Nigeria

P. E. T. Isaacs, N. McD. Davidson AND D. Rubenstein
The Department of Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria

The carrier rate of Australia antigen among northern Nigerians (6 out of 61, 9.8%) was found to be far greater than that of non-Nigerians living in the same area (0 out of 117). It is unlikely that arthropod-borne infection with serum hepatitis is important in maintaining the high carrier rate among the indigenous population, although it may contribute to the high incidence of infective hepatitis among expatriates.

Accepted for publication October 13, 1973.
