While ingesting food, often vomit some of the dissolved matter in the stomach pouch and put it side by side for easy food. Therefore, it has its epidemiological significance.

    The importance of cockroaches in medicine is becoming more and more important. They can carry the eggs of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, protozoa, fungi, and parasitic worms, and can serve as intermediate hosts for many types of helminths.

    Cockroaches have been shown to carry about 40 species of bacteria that cause disease in vertebrates, the most important of which are Mycobacterium leprae, which transmits leprosy, Yersinia pestis, which transmits bubonic plague, Shigella dysentery, which transmits dysentery, and Shigella paradysenteria, which causes boils, Staphylococcus aureus, which causes boils, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which causes urinary tract infections, Escherichia coli, which causes infections of the genitourinary tract and intestines, and many types of Salmonella that transmit enteric diseases and gastritis, such as Salmonella typhu, Salmonella typhi, etc. Cockroaches can still carry a variety of pathogenic bacteria that cause food poisoning, in addition to the above-mentioned Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, there are also Clostridium perfringens and Streptococcus faecalis.

    Cockroaches also carry a variety of protozoa, of which 4 species are pathogenic to humans or animals, such as dysentery amoeba, Giardia enterica, etc. Experimental studies have confirmed that cockroaches can carry, maintain and excrete viruses, including coxsackievirus, poliovirus, etc. Cockroaches can also carry fungi.

    In Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and Nantong, a variety of fungi have also been isolated from cockroaches caught indoors, including a large number of aflatox flavus.

    Although cockroaches carry a variety of pathogens, it is generally believed that pathogens cannot multiply in their bodies and are mechanically transmitted. However, due to their wide range of aggression and miscellaneous food habits, they can be active in garbage, toilets, washrooms and other places, and will eat on food, so they cause intestinal diseases and the spread of parasite eggs cannot be ignored. In addition, there have been reports of allergies caused by cockroach body fluids and feces.

    In addition, factory products, store goods, and home food can all be caused by cockroach bites and fouling. Occasionally, cockroaches cause malfunctions of communication equipment and computers, resulting in accidents. Some people abroad call cockroaches "computer pests".

    So if you have cockroaches in your home, you must not be careless, maybe if you can't find the cause of any diarrhea, the culprit is cockroaches.
