Laboratory infection of the wild rodent, Sciurus alphonsei with Pasteurella pestis
The author studied the susceptibility of the wild rodent, Sciurus alphonsei (Sciuridae) from Brazil to Pasteurella pestis. Two strains of P. pestis isolated from wild rodents were used: one, P. EXU 19, was isolated from O. subflavus in the county of Em, Pernambuco (Brazil), and other, RANGEL, isolated from S. hispidus of Camp. Rangel (Venezuela) . Six animais were tested by inoculation through different routes (percutaneous, subcutaneous and peritoneal). All the animals died as a result of the infection.
