During the pericd from April 2, 1969 to May 28, 1969, bacteriological and serological studies were done for 118 rcdents caught at three rural areas in Kang Won province. The rodents were 77 Ratus norvegicus, 37 Ratus ratus rufescens and 4 Microtus fortis pelliceus. Out of these specimensm, two strains of salmonella B group, three strains of salmonella D group and five strains of serologically undetermined salmonellas were isolated. Ninety eight serum specimens were drawn from those rodents, and serum aggluination tests were performed. The serum agglutinin titer was considered as positive with higher agglutination than 1:20 serum dilution. Out of 98 rodents serum the positive results were 19(19.4%) of S. typhi, 7(7.1%) of S. paratyphi A, 3(3.1%) of S. paratyphi B and 3(3.1%) of OX-19.
