Burrows within black-tailed prairie dog (Cynomys ludovicianus) colonies on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado, were dusted with deltamethrin insecticide to reduce flea (Insecta: Siphonaptera) abundance. Flea populations were monitored pre- and posttreatment by combing prairie dogs and collecting fleas from burrows. A single application of deltamethrin significantly reduced populations of the plague vector Oropsylla hirsuta, and other flea species on prairie dogs and in prairie dog burrows for at least 84 d. A plague epizootic on the Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge caused high mortality of prairie dogs on some untreated colonies, but did not appear to affect nearby colonies dusted with deltamethrin.
在科罗拉多州落基山兵工厂国家野生动物保护区的黑尾土拨鼠（Cynomys ludovicianus）群落的洞穴内，喷洒了溴氰菊酯杀虫剂以减少跳蚤（昆虫纲：蚤目）的数量。在处理前后，通过梳理土拨鼠并从洞穴中收集跳蚤来监测跳蚤种群。单次施用溴氰菊酯可显著减少鼠疫传播媒介多毛山蚤以及土拨鼠身上和土拨鼠洞穴中的其他跳蚤种类的数量，至少持续84天。落基山兵工厂国家野生动物保护区的一次鼠疫 epizootic 在一些未处理的群落中导致了土拨鼠的高死亡率，但似乎并未影响附近喷洒了溴氰菊酯的群落。 （注：epizootic 这个词英文解释为“在动物中流行的疾病”，这里直接保留英文未翻译，因为在医学专业领域，有时会保留特定术语的英文原文，以避免翻译后造成歧义或不准确，具体可根据实际情况调整，如果需要准确翻译可译为“动物流行病” ）
