Two hundred sixty-five black bears (Ursus americanus) from northcentral Idaho were examined serologically over a five-year period for antibodies against selected infectious disease agents. The number of positive serum samples number of sera tested and percent positive for each infectious agent is: tularemia, 65/340 (19); brucellosis, 18/332 (5); toxoplasmosis, 23/303 (8); leptospirosis, 2/196 (1); trichinosis, 16/122 (13); Q-fever, 13/210 (6); St. Louis encephalitis, 3/340 (1); western equine encephalitis, 4/334 (1); Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, 6/282 (2). Black bears may serve as an indicator for infection in other wildlife, domestic animals and humans in the area..
在五年时间里，对来自爱达荷州中北部的265只黑熊（美洲黑熊）进行了血清学检测，以检测其针对特定传染病病原体的抗体。每种传染病病原体的阳性血清样本数量、检测的血清数量及阳性百分比分别为：兔热病，65/340（19%）；布鲁氏菌病，18/332（5%）；弓形虫病，23/303（8%）；钩端螺旋体病，2/196（1%）；旋毛虫病，16/122（13%）；Q热，13/210（6%）；圣路易斯脑炎，3/340（1%）；西部马脑炎，4/334（1%）；落基山斑疹热，6/282（2%）。黑熊可能是该地区其他野生动物、家畜和人类感染情况的一个指标。
