Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus) as a potential reservoir for Echinococcus granulosus: A public health implication.

Acta parasitologica - 1 Dec 2016

Abdel-Moein Khaled A, Hamza Dalia A

Abstract excerpt

Cystic hydatidosis is a re-emerging parasitic zoonosis with worldwide distribution. The current study was carried out to investigate the possible role of rats in the epidemiology of such disease in urban and suburban areas. For this purpose, a total of 50 feral Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) were collected from urban and suburban settings, Cairo, Egypt. Rats were examined to be infected with cystic hydatidosis...
