Nationwide surveillance of plague in Brazil based on serological testing started in 1983. We now present an update report of the examinations carried out in our laboratory from 1983 to 1992. The passive hemagglutination test for antibodies against fraction 1A antigen of Y. pestis and the passive hemagglutination inhibition control were employed for testing a total of 220,769 sera. Samples analyzed included 2,856 sera from clinically diagnosed plague cases or suspects, 49,848 sera from rodents of 24 species and 2 species of small wild carnivores (marsupials), 122,890 sera from dogs, and 45,175 sera from cats. Specific antibodies were found in 92 (3.22%) human sera; 143 (0.29%) sera from rodents of 8 species and from the two species of marsupials, 1,105 (0.90%) sera from dogs and 290 (0.64%) sera from cats. The presence of significant levels of specific anti-F1A antibodies among rodents and wild or domestic carnivores (dogs and cats) indicates that all the Brazilian plague foci remain active in spite of the absence of human cases in some of them.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s0036-46651995000600007","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,4,17]],"date-time":"2006-04-17T18:53:56Z","timestamp":1145300036000},"page":"511-516","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":14,"title":["Plague surveillance in Brazil: 1983 - 1992"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Alzira Maria Paiva de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"FIOCRUZ, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nilma","family":"Cintra Leal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FIOCRUZ, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Francisco Gomes de","family":"Carvalho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FIOCRUZ, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jos\u00e9","family":"Dantas Sobrinho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Funda\u00e7\u00e3o Nacional de Sa\u00fade"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"C\u00e9lio Rodrigues de","family":"Almeida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"FIOCRUZ, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"591","article-title":"Plague in Brazil during two years of bacteriological and serological surveillance","volume":"59","author":"ALMEIDA C.R.","year":"1981","journal-title":"Bull.
