Abstract

COMPREHENSIVE investigations on the distribution and control of domestic Nor¬ way rats (Rattus norvegicus) were conducted from to in the Rocky Mountain area comprised and Wyoming. These investigations sought data essential to the organization and opera¬ tion of effective programs of rodent control at State and local levels. The objectives were determination densities of appraisal of of past and present control

Study Snapshot

Key takeawayRat densities in the Rocky Mountain area were determined, and past and present control methods were evaluated for effectiveness in reducing rat populations.

PopulationOlder adults (50-71 years)

Sample size24

MethodsObservational

OutcomesBody Mass Index projections

ResultsSocial networks mitigate obesity in older groups.

Survey and distribution of rodent inhabiting eight districts at Gharbia governorate, Egypt

There is no significant difference in rodent population size between cities, years, and species, but significant differences in rodent populations between months and locations in Gharbia Governorate, Egypt.

Aboriginal and invasive rats of genus Rattus as hosts of infectious agents.

Rats of the genus Rattus play a crucial role in hosting infectious agents, with three species (Norway, black, and Asian black) having colonized urban ecosystems globally for centuries, and four invasive species (R. exulans) in tropical Asia-Pacific areas.

The control of re-invasion by rats of part of a sewer network.

Poison-bait barriers alone are insufficient to prevent re-invasion of a sewer network by rats if the population density in the connected sewers is high.
