SUMMARY.– The Wistar rat has been shown to be a suitable experimental animal in a model for the study of oral candidosis. The micro‐organisms penetrated the stratum corneum of the tongue and buccal mucosa producing lesions resembling those in acute oral candidosis in humans. Salivary flow as varied in this experiment does not appear to be important in the genesis of this infection.
