我国鼠疫指示动物研究进展

Progress in the research of indicator animals of plague in China.

在我国 ,把家养的狗、猫和猪等非鼠疫主要宿主动物列为鼠疫指示动物。这一类动物对鼠疫杆菌低敏感 ,高抗性 ,染疫后大多能自然痊愈 ,并在体内长时间保留鼠疫特异性抗体 (F1抗体 )。鼠疫指示动物虽然不是鼠疫主要宿主 ,但是 ,它们与人类生产生活密切相关 ,一旦染疫对人类构成严重威胁 ,已经引起广泛的关注。开展鼠疫指示动物的研究 。

Dog, cat and pig are regarded as the indicator animals of plague.These animals are low sensitive and high resistant to Yersinia pestis. When the indicator animals are infected with plague, they can produce Fl antibody and that can maintain for a long time. Although the indicator animals are not the main host of plague, it is closely with human life and once infected with plague, they would pose serious threat to human being. Therefore study on the indicator animals of plague is of far-reaching for prevention and control of plagne.
