Abstract
THE system of nomenclature proposed for strains of trachoma/inclusion conjunctivitis (TRIC) agents1 provides the essential information with reasonable economy of symbols. Nevertheless, the fact that the full designations are rather cumbersome may militate against their general adoption. It should therefore be pointed out that when writing about a given strain the full designation need not be given after the first mention; thereafter it can be referred to by ‘element (d)’ only. Thus TRIC/2/SAU/HAR-2/OT becomes HAR-2.
