Abstract: Objective To analyze the epidemic characteristics of animal plague in the natural foci in Inner Mongolia from 2000 to 2010, providing a scientific basis for the surveillance and control of plague. Methods Descriptive epidemiology method was adopted to analyze the reported data on plague epidemics from 2000 to 2010. Results It was found that there was prevalence of animal plague every year during the period in Inner Mongolia. Yersinia pestis was identified in the foci of Meriones unguiculatus and Lasiopodomys brandti, with positive serum samples detected in all the four kinds of natural foci. Y. pestis was identified in 9 kinds of host animals and 18 kinds of insect vectors, with positive serum samples detected in 8 kinds of host animals. Conclusion In the plague foci in Inner Mongolia, animal plague is still quite active and the host animals are rather complex, and the surveillance of the epidemic should be strengthened to prevent human plague outbreak.
