[Study on the serological typing of patients with epidemic hemorrhagic fever (EHF) and host animals in Junan County, Shangdong Province].
Using hemagglutination inhibition test (HI), we confirmed that Junan County is an endemic area of both EHF of R. norvegicus and A. agrarius, which indicated that the main host animals were R. norvegicus and A. agrarius in the area. Remarkable difference was shown between the infectious rates of pigs from the endemic area and that of pigs from the nonendemic area, which suggested that pigs could play certain roles in the transmission of EHF. We also proved that the main transmission mode of EHF virus in rats was horizontal transmission, and vertical transmission in rats also existed.
