Abstract
The usefulness of the Vi-tests in tracing typhoid carriers in the population at large has not been proved. The demonstration of typhoid Vi-phages in sewage and water appears to be indicative of fecal contamination of human origin. Lack of ecological information on these phages prevents further conclusions.Keywords
