Susceptibilité de Rattus norvegicus et Rattus rattus frugivurus de la ville de Recife à la Pasteurella pestis

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
