摘要
The distribution in space and time of Burkitt’s lymphoma patients within the West Nile District of Uganda has been studied for the period 1966-67. The space-time clustering phenomenon observed previously over the period 1961-65 in this area (Pike et al., 1967) has been confirmed by this further evidence, and the hypothesis of an infective agent being involved in the aetiology of this disease is thereby strengthened. © 1969, The British Empire Cancer Campaign for Research.
