Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background: </h4> Streptobacillus moniliformis is the main cause of human streptobacillosis, also known as rat-bite or Haverhill fever. Generally transferred by bites or scratches of rats and other rodents or by rat-excrement polluted water, symptoms commonly start to appear after < 10 days and are highly variable. Due to scarcity, non-specific symptoms, and difficulties in cultivating this fastidious organism...
