title: [Method of disinfecting plague-infected fleas in preparation for electron microscopic study].
abstract: During fixation of fleas infected with plague agent (with preliminary cut heads, limbs and posterior part of the abdomen) in 2.5% glutaric dialdehyde or 2% osmium tetroxide their disinfection was obtained in two days. After double fixation with 2-hour exposure in each of these fixators disinfection of the material was acheived only after additional 2-day maintenance in 70% ethyl alcohol. Fleas, which had been placed into fixators or in 70% ethyl alcohol after double fixation without preliminary dissection, were disinfected completely only in 10 days.
