An intragastric inoculation of approx. 2 x 10('10) Yersinia enterocolitica cells killed chinchillas in three days in the case of four strains out of six tested. Because of the sensitivity of chinchillas to this bacterium, the test is useful for the evaluation of the virulence and invasiveness of Y. enterocolitica isolates. This animal model could also be used for studies on the mechanism of the infection.
