A Yersinia enterocolitica serotype 9 was isolated from pond water; Y. enterocolitica-like bacteria were also isolated from pond water and from three species of snails (Lymnaea palustris elodes, Helisoma sp., Oxyloma retusa) from the Edwin S. George Reserve in southeastern Michigan. There was evidence for biochemical stability among some of the organisms over a period of years. There also was evidence of transmission of these organisms to snails from the water.
