Disease spread by rats is likely to become an increasing problem as the
developing world becomes ever more urbanised, experts have warned. They are known to carry nearly 70 diseases, but it is suspected actually
harbour a lot more. "It is more likely than ever that we will have greater levels of debilitating diseases caused by rats with the increased density of human populations." Among the diseases that rats are known to carry are cholera, typhus, bubonic plague and leptospirosis, a bacterial illness spread by their urine contaminating water or food. Dr Hinds said 6,000 cases of leptospirosis were diagnosed in Thailand alone in 2000, killing 350 people. However, researchers say many more deaths should have been attributed to rats but were classified as unknown fever. The same disease killed nearly 60 people in the Indian state of Kerala last summer. |
