AB Sir  William  MacGregor,  MD,  at  the  end  of  his  term  as  Papua  New  Guinea's  colonial  governor,  wrote:  "Dysentery  causes  more  deaths  than  any  other  disease  in  tropical  countries.  No  other  malady  is  so  universally  distributed  and  of  such  constant  occurrence  …  [Dysentery  has  become]  the  chief  agent  in  the  rapid  depopulation  of  the  Pacific."1
