摘要
1985年4月,宁夏鼠疫疫区陶乐县突然发现长爪沙鼠大批死亡。半个多月内,自毙鼠由北向南陆续波及全县。自毙鼠一般外观正常,胸腔有积血不凝固,脾脏肿大,个别鼻口出血。经动物流行病学调查、细菌学实验等,排除自然死亡、饥饿致死、药物中毒、鼠疫。认为主要是由奇异变形杆菌引起的。在死鼠期间,未发现该菌对人畜有危害,提示该菌可以用作微生物杀灭长爪沙鼠的菌种。
Mass death of gerbils, Meriones unguiculatus happened in Taole County, an endemic area of plague in April, 1985. Within 15 days, self-dead gerbils gradually appeared in the whole county from north to south.The corpses were normal in general appearance, but hematoceles in the thoracic cavity, splenomegaly and occasional oronasal bleeding were found. Epizootiologic and bacterioiogic analyses indicated that the gerbils died of Proteus mirabilis infection. Natural death and such causes as hunger, poisoning, and plague were exclused. However, the germs didn't do any harm to human and domestic animals in the episode, suggesting that Proteus mirabilis can be a killer of gerbils.
