1983年和1984年4～5月期间,对新疆霍城县西部荒漠进行了调查:共捕获啮齿动物11种544只,其中大沙鼠和子午沙鼠是调查区啮齿类的优势种。前者密度为每公顷1.52只,后者的捕获率为3.3％;集蚤11种7365只,臀突客蚤是上述两种沙鼠的主要寄生蚤;以鼠疫间接血凝试验方法共检验7种动物血清416份,结果皆为阴性。大沙鼠和子午沙鼠虽属区内优势种群,但其分布面积较小、不均匀、密度较低。初步认为,调查区内不会存在鼠疫疫源地。 From 1983 to 1984, the desert in western Huocheng County was surveyed from April to May, 1984. A total of 544 rodents were captured, of which, gerbils and meristem were the dominant species of rodents in the survey area. The former had a density of 1.52 per hectare and the latter with a capture rate of 3.3%. Seven fleas of 11 species were fleas, the main parasitic flea of ​​these two gerbils; the indirect hemagglutination test of seven species Animal serum 416 copies, the results are negative. Although gerbils and megasus are dominant populations, their distribution area is small, uneven and their density is low. It is initially believed that there will be no plague origin in the investigation area.
