Objective: To analyzed the variant information on the indices regarding fleas from natural foci of Microtus plague in Sichuan epidemic area during 2000 to 2008.
Methods: Statistical and analytical methods were used on the surveillance data regarding Microtus fuscus plague.
Results: There were 19 flea species identified and the share of Callopsylla sparsity was 62.

June 2009
Objective: To explore the existence of natural foci on Marmota himalayana plague in Sichuan province and to provide basis for prevention and control of the disease.
Methods: Both epidemiological investigation and laboratory tests were used to provide the host animal and fleas of the vectors with Yersinia pestis carriers.
Results: 30 species of animals were found to belong to 10 orders.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to improve gene and antigen detection methods within a plague surveillance program by testing 1798 samples.
- Researchers used various testing methods, including multiple-polymerase chain reaction and enzyme linked immunosorbent assays, alongside traditional culture techniques to identify Yersinia pestis.
- Results showed a positive detection rate of 7.34% with the new methods, which is a significant increase from 6.28%, indicating that the updated approaches may enhance plague diagnosis.
