Abstract Frogs (Rana temporaria), kept under hypothermic conditions close to anabiosis, were infected with NAG vibrios and subjected to clinical, histological, bacteriological, and electron-microscopic investigation. Peroral infection of hypothermic frogs with NAG vibrios was shown to cause the development after 18–24 h of an acute NAG infection resembling the cholera-like syndrome characterized by general toxemia and local enteropathogenic action. After the acute illness the vibrios persisted for a long time in the frogs' gastrointestinal tracts.
