%X Toxigenic Vibrio cholerae O139 Bengal emerged in late 1992 in southern India as the first non-O1 cause of epidemic cholera, and rapidly became the main cause of cholera on the Indian subcontinent.1 Despite the initial explosive spread of V cholerae O139, by 1994 the incidence of O139 Bengal cholera had declined and the E1 Tor biotype of V cholerae O1 once again became the predominant cause of cholera in this region.2 In August, 1996, after nearly 3 years, V cholerae O139 reemerged as the main cause of cholera in Calcutta.
