摘要: A survey for antibodies against agents of plague, tularemia, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), Sin Nombre hantavirus (SNV), Bartonella henselae B. clarridgeiae was conducted in the summer 1995 using serum from rural dogs cats living vicinity four public parks southeastern Alberta southwestern Saskatchewan. Antibodies to all pathogens were detected areas. Overall prevalence rates 0.075 Yersinia pestis, 0.089 Francisella tularensis, 0.025 Rickettsia rickettsii (dogs only), 0.029, 0.178 0.186 SNV, clarridgeiae, respectively (cats only). This serological more sensitive efficient than previous surveys based on collection culture rodents ectoparasites. All six appear endemic region. Surveillance RMSF management associated risks should be done regions.
