Cases of cholera in the Derbent District of the Daghestan took predominantly mild and moderate clinical forms. The ratio of patients to Vibrio carriers was 1:1.25. The etiological agent of the epidemic was V. eltor, serovar Ogawa. Cholera patients were of greater epidemiological importance as the sources of infection in comparison with Vibrio carriers. Carrier state after convalescence was observed in 1.1% of cases. The population was infected with cholera, as a rule, through everyday contacts and in more rare cases by the water route. The highest rate of contamination with V. cholerae was registered in the age group of 0-2 years.

The epidemic of cholera in the Derbent District of the Daghestan was imported into the region. 172 cholera patients and 204 Vibrio carriers were registered in 23 settlements of the region during the period of June 26 to October 12, 1994. The wide spread of this infection was facilitated by high migration activity of the population and the belated introduction of measures for limiting migration. The most severe outbreaks of cholera were observed in Derbent and in the villages of Mamedkala and Morskoe.
