This paper examines the development of modern vaccination programme of Cooch Behar state, a district of West Bengal of India during the nineteenth century. The study has critically analysed the modern vaccination system, which was the only preventive method against various diseases like small pox, cholera but due to neglect, superstation and religious obstacles the people of Cooch Behar state were not interested about modern vaccination. It also examines the sex wise and castes wise vaccinators of the state during the study period. The study will help us to growing conciseness about modern vaccination among the peoples of Cooch Behar district.

The determination of the probable effect, upon the increase of population, of the extinction of small pox, is a problem which has been discussed at some length by three of the great continental mathematicians of the last century, namely, D. Bernouilli, D'Alembert, and Laplace. I propose, first, to solve the problem by what may be termed the theory of the composition of decremental forces, and then to reproduce (by way of comparison) from Mr. Todhunter's History of the Theory of Probabilities, the solutions given by the three eminent mathematicians in question.

The November 2016 special issue of the Microbiology Australia is the first joint one with the Microbiology Society of the UK. Deciding on an appropriate theme for this issue, the 'Microbial Diseases of Travel' was a relatively straightforward task and a direct 'fallout' from the geographical distance that separates our two societies. In the recorded history of mankind, travel has been one of the most effective means of disseminating infectious diseases throughout and among different populations. Explorers carried with them, many infectious agents such as influenza, measles, small pox, typhus and yellow fewer resulting in devastating consequences for the indigenous populations that they encountered on their travels. Nowadays, with the current explosive rates and speed of travel the consequences of carrying infectious agents continue to be significantly detrimental to human, animal and crop populations even with our understanding of effective public health measures. Exposure to disease causing agents carried on wild animals can also be a potent force in the emergence of disease on travellers' return to their home country. In addition, migratory animals and birds can bring disease into far away countries as illustrated by the avian influenza.
