Objective To establish a comprehensive assessment model for plague surveillance for Qinghai province, China, and to evaluate the national-level surveillance stations in the natural focus of Himalayan marmot plague for improvement of performance and quality of plague surveillance. Methods A total of 25 comprehensive assessment indicators reflecting the surveillance quality were selected, which included the population survey of marmots and other small rodents, the flea index and burrow track fleas from the primary host of plague, marmots, and the plague bacteriological and serological measurements. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to establish a comprehensive assessment model for plague surveillance and to evaluate the plague surveillance in 4 national-level surveillance stations in the natural focus of Himalayan marmot plague in Qinghai. Results According to the scores obtained from the AHP model, the 4 national?level surveillance stations were in the order of Ulam county (1.9286), Gonghe county (1.3174), Golmud city (1.0692), and Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (0.9477). Conclusion The results of plague surveillance evaluation based on AHP are reasonable and reliable. It provides strong evidence for the management and improvement of plague surveillance.
