• Description:
  Although the U. S. Public Health Service deserves a large share of the credit for initiating and maintaining surveys in the search for wild rodent plague foci, it has not been responsible for all of the field or laboratory accomplishments in this country. Of the 15 know n-infected Western States, have conducted their own surveys at one time or another, and 2 have carried out their own laboratory procedures. The Public Health Service has done the laboratory work for the other seven. The known infected States are Arizona, California,** Colorado,*** Idaho,*** Kansas, Montana,*** Nevada, New Mexico,*** North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,*** T ex as,* * Utah,*** Washington,*** and Wyoming. Without the able assistance provided by the nine States which conducted surveys, the present knowledge about plague foci in wild rodents would be far less complete than it is.
