Results of a serologic study of a plaque outbreak among rats (Rattus norvegicus) and associated wild rodents are presented. Bacteriologic and serologic evidence points toward mutual exchange of fleas and plaque infection between the intermingled rat and wild rodent populations. Results emphasize the value of serologic methods for epizootiologic studies of plague in North American rat populations.
本文介绍了对大鼠（褐家鼠）及相关野生啮齿动物中一场鼠疫暴发的血清学研究结果。细菌学和血清学证据表明，混居的大鼠和野生啮齿动物种群之间存在跳蚤的相互传播以及鼠疫感染。研究结果强调了血清学方法在北美大鼠种群鼠疫流行病学研究中的价值。
