In Oregon, during 1974-1979, 10.3 per cent of 3.255 statewide blood samples from carnivores were positive for Yersinia pestis. The per cent positive rate and geometric mean positive titer increase monthly from January (6.5 per cent) to June (21.7 per cent), and decline thereafter. Data are presented on how geographic location, species, and time of year affect surveillance results. The correlation of carnivore plague surveillance with human cases in discussed.
1974年至1979年期间,在俄勒冈州,从该州范围内采集的3255份食肉动物血液样本中,有10.3%对鼠疫耶尔森菌呈阳性反应。阳性率百分比和几何平均阳性滴度从1月(6.5%)到6月(21.7%)逐月上升,此后下降。文中给出了关于地理位置、物种和一年中的时间如何影响监测结果的数据。还讨论了食肉动物鼠疫监测与人类病例之间的相关性。
