note = "Funding Information: Fortunately, at the beginning of ODSS, the U.S. Navy developed the Navy Forward Laboratory as a theater-wide reference center for the diagnosis of endemic disease. This laboratory was composed of physicians and scientists from the Naval Medical Research Institute in Bethesda, Maryland, and Navy Medical Research Unit \#3 in Cairo, Egypt, who had field experience in the Middle East and Africa, including extensive experience in transporting, constructing, and successfully operating laboratories under primitive conditions. Additional support was provided by the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease at Fort Detrick, Maryland, in the form of procedures and reagents for serological tests. This reference laboratory made it possible to determine the cause of the diarrheal epidemic early in ODSS, to identify the first operational outbreak of Norwalk virus infection, and to report on the impact of parasitic and arboviral diseases [18, 156, 177].",
