中国云南人间鼠疫流行区十种小兽体表蚤类群落的比较(英文)

本文将某一种小兽 (小型哺乳动物 )宿主体表的全部蚤作为一个特定的蚤类群落 ,在此基础上运用模糊聚类分析方法对云南人间鼠疫流行区 10种小兽体表的蚤类群落之间的相似性进行了比较。研究结果表明 ,在动物分类上比较接近的、隶属同一属 (鼠属 )的黄胸鼠、大足鼠和斯氏家鼠体表 3种蚤类群落之间的相似性较大 ,在模糊聚类的谱系图上明显聚为一类。动物分类上距离较远、隶属不同属的微尾、臭、灰麝、中华姬鼠、滇绒鼠、社鼠和锡金小鼠体表的 7种蚤类群落之间的相似性较小。结果提示 ,宿主因素可能是影响体表寄生蚤群落之间相似性大小的一个主要因子 ,当宿主在动物分类上彼此接近时 ,其体表寄生蚤群落的相似程度就比较高 ,当宿主在动物分类上距离较大时 ,其体表蚤类群落的相似程度就比较低。本文中不同属小兽体表寄生蚤类形成了不同的群落类型。

THE COMPARISON BETWEEN FLEA COMMUNITIES ON TEN SPECIES OF SMALL MAMMALS IN THE FOCI OF HUMAN PLAGUE IN YUNNAN, CHINA

Fleas on the body surface of a certain species of small mammal form a special flea community. On the basis of a series of calculations, a comparison of flea communities on ten species of small mammals in the foci of human plague in Yunnan Province, China, was carried out through a fuzzy clustering analysis. The three flea communities \%on Rattus flavipectus, Rattus nitidus\% and \%Rattus rattus sladeni,\% which belong to the same genus (genus \%Rattus\%), showed a higher similarity than others and they clustered into a group in the phenogram of the clustering analysis. Other flea communities on \%Anourosorex squamipes, Suncus murinus, Crocidura attenuata, Apodemus draca, Eothenomys eleusis, Niviventer confucianus \% and \%Mus pahari\% showed lower similarities between each other. The result suggests that the small mammal hosts may be the most important factor which strongly influence the similarity of ectoparasitic flea communities. When the hosts have a close affinity in the taxonomy, the flea communities on their body surface tend to be similar. The hosts in different genera in this case study tend to have different types of ectoparasitic flea communities.
