Four isolates of rickettsiae from sick dogs on Cape Cod, Mass., were serologically identical to isolates of Rickettsia rickettsii from human patients with Rocky Mountain spotted fever. The antigenic analysis used the indirect fluorescent-antibody test and antisera prepared in mice to each of the isolates and to reference strains of R. rickettsii and Rickettsia montana. Serological responses of infected dogs were specific for R. rickettsii, although antibodies to R. montana were also detected in the sera of most of the canines.
从马萨诸塞州科德角患病犬身上分离出的四株立克次氏体,在血清学上与落基山斑疹热人类患者身上分离出的立氏立克次氏体菌株相同。抗原分析采用间接荧光抗体试验,以及用小鼠制备的针对每株分离菌株、立氏立克次氏体参考菌株和蒙大拿立克次氏体参考菌株的抗血清。感染犬的血清学反应对立氏立克次氏体具有特异性,不过在大多数犬的血清中也检测到了针对蒙大拿立克次氏体的抗体。
