What diseases do rats get? What diseases can rats transmit?

a) Rat pox. Rat pox, also known as "foot loss disease", is an acute infectious disease caused by the mouse pox virus. The disease spreads rapidly and has a mortality rate.

high, the most serious threat to rats. The source of infection is foot loss disease. It can occur all year round, and there are two types of symptoms: acute and chronic.

b) Encephalomyelitis. It is an infectious disease caused by the encephalomyelitis virus. It often occurs sporadicly.

The incubation period is 8-13 days. Sick rats mainly present with paralysis, especially hind limb paralysis. Usually the rat has paralysis or paresis in one hind limb first, and then the other hind limb also has the same symptoms.

At this time, the muscles of the affected limb are relaxed and weak, and the rat is lying down, with reduced appetite, unkempt coat, gradually emaciated, and finally dies due to difficulty in feces and urination.

3) Viral pneumonia. Viral pneumonia is a rodent infectious disease caused by a variety of viruses. The main pathological changes are trachea and bronchitis.

and lobular pneumonia.

4) Diarrhea in rats. Diarrhea in rats is caused by Hepali coli during lactation.

Rats have severe diarrhea and rapid exhaustion or sepsis.

Acute illness with a high mortality rate.

5) Paratyphoid fever.

Paratyphoid fever is also called rat typhoid fever. It is an infectious disease of the digestive tract of rats caused by Salmonella paratyphi.

6) Bacterial pneumonia. Bacterial pneumonia in murine is a sporadic disease that can occur throughout the year, but the incidence is high in winter. The pathogen is pneumococcus.

There are dozens of diseases transmitted by rats, including bacterial, viral, and some are infections caused by rickettsial and parasites.

At present, most of the common infectious diseases of rats are infectious diseases. Among them, the diseases infected by bacteria include plague, cholera, typhus, relapsing fever, typhoid fever, leptospirosis, salmonella and so on.

Some common viral diseases are epidemic hemorrhagic fever, forest encephalitis, and many more. There are some other common diseases such as filariasis, trichinosis, and so on.

After being bitten by a rat, here's what to do:

1. Treat wounds. First, the wound should be rinsed with soapy water, thoroughly washed with clean water, and then disinfected with iodine. The wound after treatment should be left open and not bandaged.

If the wound is deep or large, you should go to the hospital in time to clean and disinfect the wound. In addition, the wound after being bitten, regardless of its size, should be treated appropriately as soon as possible.

2. Vaccination. Go to the hospital to get vaccinated, generally infectious diseases have a certain incubation period, and the vaccine is effective before the onset of the disease, and the sooner the better. The type of vaccine is selected according to the severity of the bleeding from the bite, and anti-rabies serum is generally selected for bite scratches, and rabies immune globulin should be injected for severe bites or deep wounds.

3. Symptom observation. Monitor your temperature at any time for a week, suspect infection if you have a fever, and go to the hospital as soon as possible**.

Fourth, pay attention to rest. After being bitten, you should stay in bed, do not overexert yourself, and pay attention to the intake of fresh vegetables, fruits, fish and other protein-rich foods, which can improve immunity.

What is the most harmful infectious disease in rats to humans? Is it the "plague"?

Plague! Because the food that rats eat is very miscellaneous and very unclean. If it's domestic, it's a different story!

The main ones are epidemic hemorrhagic fevers and plague.

I went to bed late, I felt uncomfortable today, a bit like a cold, and today I wanted to wash the sheets and covers, and there was rat-pricked toilet paper and rat droppings under the pillow.

Rats are mostly immune to pathogens and are not sick, but they can carry plague bacillus dao.

Plague is a zoonotic disease in which the main vector is not rats themselves, but inconspicuous fleas. Rodents are mostly immune to plague, but the parasitic fleas on them are not. Fleas will die from the plague.

When fleas feed on the blood of rodents that contain Yersinia pestis, their digestive tract is partially blocked by something that mixes with the blood clot of the reproducing germ. The flea then began to become hungry, and almost any moving creature would jump up and suck blood. However, due to the blockage of the intestines and the inability to digest them, the diseased fleas will not only be unable to quench their hunger, but will also vomit blood containing Yersinia pestis while sucking blood, thus transmitting Y. pestis to the host of the blood-sucking organism.

Eventually, the fleas will quickly jump from one host to another, sting in every way, further spreading the plague.

Rats move around in a variety of places every day and carry a variety of bacteria on their bodies. Unknowingly, we eat the food that the rats have eaten, at this time, the virus transmitted by the rats in the food will enter our body, and we may suffer from epidemic hemorrhagic fever, which is likely to be life-threatening if not timely.

Moreover, in order to grind their teeth, rats often gnaw on doors, closets, etc. In the fields, rats often steal food, dig fields, and destroy trees, which is harmful to the development of forestry and agriculture. In addition, rats burrowing everywhere also endanger the quality of the building, bringing hidden dangers to people's lives.

Rats come and go without a trace, and never meet people. They have a keen sense of smell and are especially familiar with human smells. As soon as you break in, you will stay away. Their nests are also in unknown places and are never disturbed.

How to exterminate rats:

1. Medication. Medication is the most widely used and effective rodent control method. Rodenticide has good palatability to mice, rats generally do not refuse to eat, and rat poison is appropriately toxic. It is mainly made of various poisonous bait, the effect is good, the use is simple, this method can be described as fast and effective, but you need to take into account the children at home and its shortcomings.

2. Clean environment.

There are three major conditions for the survival and reproduction of rats: water, food, and sheltered habitat. Therefore, by creating an environment that is not suitable for them to live, it is possible to make the rats "move" on their own.

Therefore, we must do a good job of hygiene at home, remove weeds around the house, items piled up randomly inside and outside the house, all kinds of tools and sundries are placed neatly, and wardrobes, books, etc. must be checked frequently. Cut off the food of rats: The food of rats includes not only human food, but also feed, garbage, etc., so that rats can not get food and achieve the purpose of eliminating rats.

In addition to biting and damaging things in the house, rats can also spread fleas and diseases, and rats appear in the house. Probably climbed up from the lower sewers.

There are generally two types of rats commonly found in the home: gutter rats and house mice.

There are four ways for gutter rats to enter the home.

The most common way to get into your home comes from the sewers. If the net leak under the sink or laundry sink is not tight, rats will climb up. For the gutter rat, as long as the diameter of the pipe is between 10-13 cm, it can climb inside.

The diameter of the sewer in the average household is more than 10 centimeters.

Balcony downspouts and flush toilets are also passages for rats to enter the room. If the pipes inside and outside the air conditioner are not tightly connected, it is easy for rats to get into the room.

Although it is climbed from the bottom to the top, the physical strength of the mouse is enough to support it to climb the third or fourth floor in one go.

Mus mus are more common in older houses, where they mostly live on sofas, drawers, cardboard boxes, and old furniture. The size of the house is very small, very sensitive, I live on the 10th floor, with a lot of methods have not been controlled, and then sprayed cat Dorin rat repellent to drive the mouse away, it has been more than half a year can not stop the sound of mice gnawing things, and the night to go to the bathroom can not see the mouse.

Rats are a hazard in **, but the biological chain du also has old zhi rats can have other dao creatures to survive, such as cats, back eagles, and weasels.

1. Harm of rodents to humans.

Rats are one of the animals most closely related to humans.

Spread plague disease. Bite the door of the house, the food, the clothes... The main thing is to spread the disease.

Seriously affect your normal life.
