Public health reforms and the mortality decline in nineteenth‐century Italy
Abstract This study examines the impact of Italy's 1887–8 health reforms on mortality, contributing to the historical debate on the state's role in Europe's health transition.

Thermo-Efficient Strains of Variola Major Virus
Thermo-efficient and thermo-sensitive mutants of pox viruses are obtained, without the aid of mutagens, only with difficulty. Kirn and his colleagues (1, 2) have described both a thermo-sensitive and a thermo-efficient mutant of vaccinia virus. This note reports the derivation and properties of two thermo-efficient strains of variola major virus.
