The epidemiologic features of 60 cases of feline plague from 1977-1985 in New Mexico are reviewed. The most frequent clinical presentation was lethargy, anorexia, fever, and enlarged lymph nodes or abscesses. A history of hunting rodents was reported in 75 per cent of all cases. Five human plague cases were associated with five feline cases. Recommendations are presented for prevention of plague infection and transmission to humans, including restraining cats from roaming and hunting by neutering and keeping them indoors, treating them for fleas, and seeking medical care for febrile illnesses, especially when accompanied by enlarged lymph nodes.
回顾了1977年至1985年新墨西哥州60例猫瘟的流行病学特征。最常见的临床表现为嗜睡、厌食、发热以及淋巴结肿大或脓肿。所有病例中有75%报告有捕食啮齿动物的病史。5例人类鼠疫病例与5例猫瘟病例相关。文中提出了预防鼠疫感染及传播给人类的建议，包括通过绝育使猫不外出游荡和捕食，并将它们饲养在室内，为其治疗跳蚤，以及对发热疾病，尤其是伴有淋巴结肿大的情况寻求医疗护理。
