    Abstract:
    Vibriocidal antibodies were determined by microtechnique in 5 groups of Thai adult volunteers who had never received or had received cholera vaccination within one year, more than one to five years ago, more than five to ten years ago and more than ten years ago respectively. Detailed questionnaires about socioeconomic status, educational levels and environmental factors were presented to every volunteer. There were no differences statistically in incomes, educational levels and environmental factors among the groups. It was found that the reciprocal geometric mean titers of antibodies in volunteers who had never received cholera vaccination was generally low. The reciprocal geometric mean titers of the volunteers who had received cholera vaccination within one year were statistically different from other groups (p = 0.05). There was no correlation between blood groups of volunteers and vibriocidal antibodies.
