Small Mammals in Relation to Korean Hemorrhagic Fever a preliminary report

한국출혈열과 관계되는 소포유동물에 대하여(예보)

A cursory study of small mammals on and near five military compounds where Korean Hemorrhagic Fever patients had been reported indicated that Mus musculus was more closely associated with man than all other mammals ccmbined. Therefore, there is a greater probability that Mus musculus is associated with the disease than any other species. Rattus rattus was common in villages and farm houses but was not abundant on military compounds. The two shrews, Crocidura lasiura and C. suaνeolens were uncommon, but they were often found in close association with hemorrhagic fever patients. Other small mammals were rare or lived in such places as to come in contact with man rarely.

한국출혈열환자의 발생이 보고된 5 개군사시설내 및 그 주변의 소포유동물에 대한 조사 결과, 사람과 극히 관련성이 많은 동물이 Mus musculus 이어서, 이 동물이 다른 동물들보다 출혈열과 관련이 깊으리라고 추측된다. Rattus rattus 는 촌락과 농가에 흔하지만,군사시설내에는 많지 않았다. 두 종의땅쥐, Crocidura lasiura 와 C. Suaveolens 는 흔하지 않았으나, 출혈열환자와 접촉이 많은 경우가 가끔 있었다. 다른 소포유동물들은 대단히 드물거나 인적이 드문 곳에 살고 있었다.
