The fact that controls as are maintained in most biological experiments, could even be studied ebulliently in human population, by observing a MZ pair, a member of which is exposed to a certain anomaly and the other acts as control, becomes more vivid and recommended from the present studies. For, they can be directly related to human health and welfare.

Permanent changes due to typhoid incidence in physical, mental and anthropometric traits of a member of MZ twin pair may be suggestive of some “beneficial interaction of typhoid bacillus with certain intricate mechanisms like RNA and protein synthesis, as has been envisaged earlier.
