金門及馬祖地區農地鼠形動物之種類、分佈及密度調查

The community composition and density of murine-like animals in the farmlands of Kinmen and Matsu region

金門縣及連江縣，緊鄰中國大陸，為因應與大陸通航後，大陸地區之鼠形動物可能藉由頻繁的船隻往返而入侵金、馬地區，危害農業作物及倉儲糧食。鼠形動物又為許多人畜共通疾病之宿主如鼠疫、恙蟲病、鼠型斑疹傷寒、漢他病毒等，威脅人民健康。本研究利用捕鼠籠在金、馬地區進行鼠形動物之種類、分佈及季節密度調查，並利用Zippin法評估鼠形動物密度。於金門縣五個鄉鎮設置7個調查點，自2001年7月至11月共放置4102籠夜，捕捉5種鼠形動物389隻，分別為溝鼠（Rattus norvegicus），小黃腹鼠（Rattus losea），屋頂鼠（Rattus rattus），家鼷鼠（Mus musculus）及臭鼩（Suncus murinus），捕捉率為9.5%（389/4102）。根據10月及11月之調查資料以Zippin捕捉去除法推估調查區域內鼠類族群分別為119隻及224隻。於馬祖地區南、北竿兩鄉設置4個調查點，共放置2202籠夜，捕捉5種鼠形動物89隻，分別為溝鼠，小黃腹鼠，田鼷鼠（Mus caroli），家鼷鼠及臭鼩，捕捉率為4.0%（89/2202）。根據10月及11月之調查資料以Zippin捕捉去除法推估鼠形動物分別為30隻及29隻。

"County of Lien Jang and Kinmen are very close to China mainland. Since the sea borne transportation between the islands and mainland was opened recently. The murine-like animals are very possible invasion to the near islands from mainland and cause the crops, store products damage and murine borne disease epidemic such as plague, murine typhus, Hanta virus etc. This study was conducted to the structure of murine-like animals, distribution and seasonal fluctuation in Lien Jang and Kinmen counties. The live-traps were used in this study since July to November, 2001. 389 murine-like animals were trapped in seven trapping stations for 4102 trap-night in Kinmen. The trapped rate was 9.5% (389/4102) and 5 murine-like animals, Rattus norvegicus, Rattus losea, Rattus rattus, Mus musculus and Suncus murinus were caught in Kinmen. Results from the 7 days continuous trapping the total populations in the studied farms were estimated to be 119 and 224 respectively in October and November 2001 by Zippin capture-removal method. There were 4 stations in Matsu 89 murine-like animals were trapped in 2194 trap-night. The trapped rate was 4.0% (89/2202). There are 5 murine-like animals, Rattus norvegicus, Rattus losea, Mus musculus, Mus caroli and Suncus murinus were caught in Matsu. Results from the 7 days continuous trapping the total populations in the study farms was estimated to be 30 and 29 respectively in October and November 2001 by Zippin capture-removal method."
