Abstract
In Nagpur (Maharashtra) during the period 1991-93, Vibrio cholerae serogroup 01 predominated in 1991 (94.7%) and 1992 (86.4%) but significantly declined in 1993 (10.7%). Serogroups 02-0138 were infrequently encountered. A new strain V. cholerae serogroup 0139 emerged in 1993 and accounted for 89.3 per cent of the total vibrios isolated in the year. Replacement of the endemic 01 strain by the new 0139 strain was observed.
