Rodent mite dermatitis (also known as rat mite dermatitis) is an often unrecognized ectoparasitosis occurring after human contact with haematophagous mesostigmatid mites that infest rodents, such as house mice, [1] rats [2] and hamsters. [3]
These three types of T. gondii have differing effects on certain hosts, mainly mice and humans due to their variation in genotypes. [90] Type I: virulent in mice and humans, seen in people with AIDS. Type II: non-virulent in mice, virulent in humans (mostly Europe and North America), seen in people with AIDS.
Ornithonyssus bacoti (also known as the tropical rat mite and formerly called Liponyssus bacoti) is a hematophagous parasite. [1] It feeds on blood and serum from many hosts. [2] [3] O. bacoti can be found and cause disease on rats and wild rodents most commonly, but also small mammals and humans when other hosts are scarce.
It has only been seen in mouse colonies kept for research purposes but believed that wild populations of mice and other rodents in Europe are naturally infected with ECTV. [1] [2] Mousepox causes skin lesions, a purulent rash on the body of mice, and generalized disease, which can be fatal. It is the only poxvirus to cause disease naturally in ...
A 2022 mouse study found that Red No. 40 and Red No. 17 could trigger inflammatory bowel diseases like ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease, while a 2023 study on mice linked Red No. 40 to DNA ...
Rat-bite fever (RBF) is an acute, febrile human illness caused by bacteria transmitted by rodents, in most cases, which is passed from rodent to human by the rodent's urine or mucous secretions. Alternative names for rat-bite fever include streptobacillary fever, streptobacillosis, spirillary fever, bogger, and epidemic arthritic erythema.
Cases of norovirus — the virulent, wildly contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea — are increasing in the U.S., the Centers for Disease Control says, reporting double the amount of ...
Hantaviruses that cause disease in humans are native to rodents and, prior to the outbreak, were known to exist in Asia and Europe, but previously were only associated with a different disease called hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS).
