    MEDICAL RESEARCH UNIT IN CAIRO 
    The United States Naval Medical Research Unit 3, established in Egypt in 1946, has undertaken two broad programs of medical research: 1. Study of human parasites responsible for causing or transmitting diseases of medical importance; at present these studies are in bilharzia and the biology of flies. 2. Study of the physiology and the biochemistry of patients suffering from such diseases as typhus, typhoid, amebiasis, relapsing fever and infectious hepatitis.The Royal Egyptian Government last June leased to the United States Government an acre of land adjacent to the Abbassia Fever Hospital for twenty-five years, on which site the existing buildings are being remodeled and new ones being erected for laboratories in the fields of bacteriology, biochemistry, entomology, parasitology, physiology and virology and dental research.The laboratories will be staffed by American scientists and technicians, as well as by guest investigators from Egypt
