Experiments have shown that the block of proventriculus develops in 1.1 to 1.5% of individuals of the flea Neopsylla abagaitui infected with plague microbe. These insects transmit the agent during bloodsucking to different plague carriers (Citellus dauricus, C. undulatus, Meriones unguiculatus, Microtus gregalis). The plague microbe is preserved in fleas for 65 days (the observation period).
实验表明，感染鼠疫杆菌的阿巴盖图新蚤个体中，1.1%至1.5%会出现前胃堵塞。这些昆虫在吸血时会将病原体传播给不同的鼠疫宿主（达乌尔黄鼠、长尾黄鼠、长爪沙鼠、灰仓鼠）。鼠疫杆菌在跳蚤体内可存活65天（观察期）。
