This study was carried out in 1961 and 1962. A total of 2,143 subjects were studied for thalassaemia trait; of these, 1,474 were also examined for G.-6-P.D.d. and 1,021 for Hb S. Five areas were screened: Karditsa, Elasson, Corfu, Petro- magoula, and Serifos (see Map). The characterization of the malarial endemicity in each area before 1945 was based on older data (Livadas and Sphangos, 1940) and on information obtained through the local public health centres.
