1942年桃源县李家湾鼠疫流行事件考述

A Research into the Plague in the Lijiawan,Taoyuan County in 1942

1941年冬天日军实施的常德细菌战造成常德地区鼠疫大流行,桃源县小村庄李家湾也未能幸免。该村于次年5月爆发肺鼠疫,导致16人死亡。李家湾鼠疫流行事件的起因是村民李佑生在鼠疫流行的常德城内染疫后翻越城墙潜回该村,再传染给亲友邻居。李佑生没被注射疫苗就进了城,然后又能逃避检疫,是因为常德的防疫工作存在许多问题。幸而湘西防疫处采取了及时的隔离管制和救治措施,才避免了这场灾难的进一步扩大。

In the winter of 1941, Japanese germ warfare made a plague in the region of Changde. A small village of Taoyuan named Lijiawan was drawn into the disaster. The village burst into the plague and sixteen villagers were dead in the plague. The plague was spread from Changde to Lijiawan because a villager named Liyousheng was infected in Changde and then slipped back his home. The epidemic, prevention section of Xiangxi timely isolated Liyousheng, carried out quarantine and treated the patients. Thereafter the plague was controlled.
