| 中文描述 | 鼠疫桿菌所造成的瘟疫在美國西南方貓中已經被診斷出來了。通常是因為接觸到了不知名的齧齒類或是其跳蚤。臨床可看見肺淋巴腺種大,或是敗血症。在狗中,通常沒有併發症狀,這是一種寄生蟲病,人類必須警惕,因為對動物來說它們只是一種攜帶者而會造成感染。 |
| 英文描述 | Plague due to YERSINIA PESTIS has been diagnosed in cats in the southwestern U.S. which had contact with sylvatic rodents or their fleas. Clinical presentation can be bubonic (infected lymph nodes), pneumonic, or septicemic. In dogs the disease might present with nonspecific signs and is rare. This is a zoonosis and people handling either suspect animals or animals which may be a mechanical carrier of rodent fleas should take precautions. |
