Results of a serologic study of a plague outbreak among rats (Rattus norvegicus) and associated wild rodents are presented. Bacteriologic and serologic evidence points toward mutual exchange of fleas and plague infection between the intermingled rat and wild rodent populations. Results emphasize the value of serologic methods for epizootiologic studies of plague in North American rat populations.
