Background: Zoonotic diseases are the major public health threat, with over 70% originating from wildlife. Rodents, while beneficial to environment, transmit many zoonotic such as hemorrhagic fevers, plague, tularemia, and leptospirosis, mainly due increased agriculture land use changes. Understanding rodent-borne pathogens is essential for effective intervention. Therefore, this study aimed identify pathogenic bacteria in rodents rodent species area. Methods: A total of 116 achieved samples (101 oral-pharyngeal 15 rectal swabs) collected Kibondo, Uvinza Kyerwa were used study. Total RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) was extracted each swab sample then pooled based on species, location types make twelve pools. portion swabs polyadenylated metagenomics sequence libraries preparation. 16S rRNA (ribosomal Ribonucleic sequencing performed 12 pools by using MinIon platform order microbial diversity. Results: 13 different communities includinng identified; where, families potentially pathogenic, unknown potential also identified. These included Mycobacteriacea, Helicobacteriacea, Enterobacteriacea, Vibrionacea, Staphylococcaceae, Nocardiaceae, Bacillaceae, Pasteurellaceae, Streptococcaceae, Campylobacteraceae, Leptospiraceae, Brachyspiraceae, Moraxellaceae, Enterococcaea, Flavobacteriacea. Potentially including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Vibrio cholerae, Helicobacter pylori parahaemolyticus reported Conclusion: This identifies several veterinary importance, highlighting possibility risk human infection cross-transmission between rodents, humans, animals given proximity humans animals. While no concrete evidence rodent-to-human transmission found, we hypothesize that a source, especially resource-poor areas close rodent-human contact.

Mouse and rat borne zoonotic diseases refer to illnesses that can be transmitted from rodents such as mice rats humans. These animals carry various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, which cause in humans through direct contact, inhalation of airborne particles, consumption contaminated food or water, via vectors ticks fleas. Here are some common mouse diseases: Leptospirosis, Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS), Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM), Rat-Bite Fever (RBF), Salmonellosis dan Pes. Leptospirosis: This bacterial infection is caused by Leptospira bacteria found the urine infected rodents. Humans contract leptospirosis contact with soil, food. Symptoms range mild flu-like illness severe complications involving kidneys, liver, other organs. (HPS): Hantaviruses rodent urine, droppings, saliva, primarily deer mice. Inhalation aerosolized virus particles most route transmission. HPS lead respiratory illness, symptoms fever, muscle aches, coughing, potentially fatal pulmonary edema. (LCM): LCM Virus (LCMV), carried house become exposure nesting materials. initially may progress more neurological complications, meningitis encephalitis. (RBF): Streptobacillus moniliformis (commonly associated bites) Spirillum minus (associated feces urine). RBF result a bite scratch an handling include rash, joint pain, cases, endocarditis meningitis. Salmonellosis: Salmonella rodents, particularly their feces. salmonellosis ingestion well habitats. typically diarrhea, abdominal cramps, vomiting. Pes: While commonly fleas infest like rats, plague (Yersinia pestis) also directly bodily fluids. Plague manifest bubonic (swollen lymph nodes), septicemic, pneumonic forms, ranging fever chills distress organ failure. Preventing involves maintaining good hygiene practices, proper storage, waste disposal, rodent-proofing buildings. Additionally, avoiding wild seeking prompt medical attention if exposed experiencing crucial preventive measures.

Abstract Introduction This research explores rat meat consumption patterns among urban Ghanaians and their perception of risks associated with rats. Two hypotheses on risk inhabitants were proposed: the contracting diseases by consuming from peridomestic Method/Findings To achieve objective, a descriptive cross-sectional survey using questionnaire was conducted that recruited participants settings in Ghana. Of 829 respondents recruited, around 65% consumed rodents, these, 35% consumes meat. Through statistical analyses, our data revealed gender, age, region, religion, ethnicity, education, profession income significantly influenced residents’ disease risk. An adjusted multivariable model identified males aged 27 to 34years no formal or basic education southern Ghana as most likely consumers. The majority (60.3%) indicated rats are often present homes community drains, have some awareness where can be found place residence. Low scores regarding recorded, (55-74.9% 829) perceiving there minimal threats outcome this belief undertook limited control neighborhood.
