AI Article Synopsis
- - This review examines the presence of several viruses, including hepatitis E, hantavirus, rotavirus, coronavirus, and arenavirus, in common urban rodents like rats and mice.
- - Though these rodents can impact human health through virus transmission, there have been few studies investigating this issue.
- - Effective control strategies should focus on reducing rodent populations, improving sanitation, and limiting their access to human environments, like food and water sources.
Article Abstract
This review focuses on reports of hepatitis E virus, hantavirus, rotavirus, coronavirus, and arenavirus in synanthropic rodents (Rattus rattus, Rattus norvegicus, and Mus musculus) within urban environments. Despite their potential impact on human health, relatively few studies have addressed the monitoring of these viruses in rodents. Comprehensive control and preventive activities should include actions such as the elimination or reduction of rat and mouse populations, sanitary education, reduction of shelters for the animals, and restriction of the access of rodents to residences, water, and food supplies.
