| 1942 | The following statements are taken from the report of Saunders and Guinto on their recent survey of the Virgin Islands. “A field study of leprosy in the Virgin Islands has demonstrated that the disease is about ten times as prevalent in St Croix (10 to 14 per 1 000) as in St Thomas (1 to 1.5 per 1 000), and previous reports indicate that for at least 100 years the relative frequency has been much the same … leprosy is about equally prevalent in females and males in the Virgin Islands, a condition similar to that found in West African natives, but in marked contrast to that found in the Philippines and most other areas … leprosy was found to be more prevalent in Negroes than in other racial groups … Lepromatous leprosy comprises less than 30 per cent and neural leprosy more than 70 per cent of all cases in the Virgin Islands. These proportions were found to be essentially the same in males as in females.” G M Saunders and R S Guinto, “A Field Study of Leprosy in the Virgin Islands of the United States.” IJL 10 (1942): 20-37 cited in World Wide Distribution and Prevalence of Leprosy: Supplement to the International Journal of Leprosy 12 (1944).
