Rodent-borne diseases are illnesses that can be transmitted to humans through contact with rodents, such as rats and mice. These diseases can spread through bites, urine, droppings, or by inhaling particles from rodent nests. Common examples include hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. Preventing rodent-borne diseases involves controlling rodent populations and maintaining cleanliness in living areas. Proper sanitation, sealing entry points, and using traps can help reduce the risk of rodent infestations. Awareness of the symptoms and transmission methods of these diseases is essential for effective prevention and treatment.
