RESUME
L’auíeur a vérifié la susceptibilité de deux espèces de rongeurs domestiques de la ville de Recife. Etat du Pernambuco, R. norvegicus et Rattus rattus frugivurus, les comparant aux souris albinos de la souche “Swiss” avec deux souches de P. pestis dont une était isolée au municipe d’Exu, Etat du Pernambuco âenommée PEXU 19 et Vautre provenante du Venezuela dite RANGEL.
Les deux espèces de rongeurs ont montré une resistence modérée par rapport aux deux souches de P. pestis tandis que les souris ont révélé d’être hautement susceptibles.
ABSTRACT
Studies on susceptibility of domestic rodents (R. r. frugivurus and R. norvegicus) from Recife, Brazil, to two strains of Pasteurella pestis were made. The strains of P. pestis used in the experiments were isolated from wild rodents, one (PEXU 19) in Exu, State of Pernambuco an another (RANGEL) in Venezuela. “Swiss” mice were used for comparative purposes.
Domestic rats showed to be moderatly resistant to both P. pestis strains, while the swiss mice were considered highly susceptible to them.
