Listeria monocytogenes survived over 8 weeks in pond water, with no evidence of multiplication. Listeria multiplied in sterilized soil during the late winter and early spring. The growth rate in soil was correlated (p<0.005) to the ambient air temperature. The evidence was interpreted to suggest that soil is the reservoir of Listeria on the George Reserve.
