摘要

鹿鼠(Peromyscus maniculatus)是sinnombre病毒(SNV)的主要宿主。鹿鼠使用各种各样的栖息地,包括人类住所内和周围的室内环境,它们在房屋内和周围的存在被认为是感染汉坦病毒肺综合征的一个危险因素。鹿鼠被认为进入建筑物是为了获得各种资源,包括食物、床上材料和更好的热小气候。然而,没有人通过实验测试哪些因素会影响老鼠对建筑物的使用。我们使用小型模拟建筑物进行实验,以确定食物和被褥材料这两个因素对这些建筑物中小鼠活动的影响。我们还研究了这些影响是否随着一年中的时间而变化。我们发现,不管有没有食物或被褥,鹿鼠都会进入我们的建筑。然而,建筑物内的活动量受到其所含物质的影响。我们发现,有食物的建筑物内的活动指数明显高于空建筑物(对照)和有床上材料的建筑物。一年中的时间对建筑物的活动没有影响。

An Experimental Test of Factors Attracting Deer Mice into Buildings.

Deer mice (Peromyscus maniculatus) are the principal reservoir host of Sin Nombre virus (SNV). Deer mice use a wide variety of habitats including peridomestic settings in and around human dwellings, their presence in and around homes has been implicated as a risk factor for acquiring Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome. Deer mice are believed to enter buildings in order to gain access to a variety of resources including food, bedding material, and better thermal microclimates. However, no one has experimentally tested which factors influence mice use of buildings. We conducted experiments using small simulated buildings to determine the effects of two factors, i.e., food and bedding material, on mouse activity in these buildings. We also examined if these effects varied with time of year. We found that deer mice entered our buildings regardless of the presence or absence of food or bedding. However, the amount of activity in buildings was affected by what they contained. We found significantly higher indices of activity in buildings containing food compared to both empty buildings (control) and buildings containing bedding material. Time of year did not affect activity in buildings.
