Abstract:We investigated the current situation about free-ranging dogs infection with plague and provided relevant data for plague prevention and control in Karamay City. We examined the dog serum F1 antibody by indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA). Results showed that the F1 antibody was found in 1 of 13 dogs serum samples, and the positive rate was 7.69%. The free-ranging dogs plays an important role in controlling animal plague epidemic, and there are potential risk for local people’s infection of plague.
