Abstract
THE study of dormancy and under-cooling of animals has shown that the process of cooling sharply slows down all physiological functions. Yet the decrease in the rate of different functions is not the same1,2. In connexion with these observations a new question has arisen: In what way will the fall of temperature of the body of an animal influence micro-organisms infecting it?
