“…The association between animal food and R. rattus is corroborated by other studies, such as that developed by Bevilacqua et al (2004) who, in research conducted in a veterinarian hospital in Minas Gerais, Brazil, found that the predominant infesting species was R. rattus, and that the largest number of captures occurred in the sector of pet animals (dogs and cats); this suggests an association between the presence of such animals and the habit of leaving food exposed for extended periods of time.…”

Rodents are involved in the transmission to human beings of several diseases, including liptospirosis, which shows high lethality rates in Sao Paulo municipality. Despite this, few studies have assessed the relationship existing between urban environmental conditions and building rodent infestation. With the purpose of clarifying this relationship, an analysis has been conducted in order to quantify the influence of environmental factors upon rodent infestation on a low-income district. Diagnosis of the environmental situation has been performed to evaluate the frequency according to which harborage, food and access sources occur, and a survey on infestation rates in 2175 dwellings in the area studied. The logistic regression analysis showed that among the environmental variables, the one that showed the closest association with rodent infestation was access; followed by harborage, and food. It was concluded that poor socioeconomic and environmental conditions in the area propitiate the occurrence of high rodent infestation rates.

“…This show that people are not well aware that correct pet feeding is important and that any animal food leftover or excess has to be avoided. The exposure of pet food for long periods has been reported to be related to rodent infestation (Bevillacqua et al 2004). The presence of pets was also shown to be important for rodent infestation in England (Langton et al 2001).…”

This article provides analyses of data on the premises infestation by commensal rodents collected during the 2006 Urban Rodent Survey, in Sao Paulo city, Brazil. A two-stage cluster sample survey was used to visit 23,512 premises, and logistic regression models were estimated in order to understand the relationships among the risk factors and the infestation probability. The premises infestation rates were 23.1% for all rodents, 12.7% for roof rat, 9.4% for Norway rat and 1.7% for house mouse. Factors found to be related to infestation levels were: socioeconomic conditions (human development index and income), premises features (commercial, strictly residential and vacant lots), and environmental resources (access, harborage and food). The analysis of odds ratios showed that access by the building structure favours roof rat and access by the sewage system favours Norway rat. Harborage in ceiling cracks are determinant for roof rat, harborage in wall cracks and in dense bush for Norway rat, and harborage in waste or in building material for house mouse infestations. Available animal food favour all the three species, fruit trees favour Norway and roof rats, human food is important for house mouse: therefore a natural partition of the environmental resources among the species was observed. The results obtained in this article add some knowledge on the biology and behaviour of commensal rodents.

ResumenLa leptospirosis es una enfermedad de gran importancia en el mundo debido a su componente zoonótico, el objetivo de esta investigación fue realizar una asociación entre la presencia de la enfermedad en animales domésticos, humanos y roedores silvestres en Latinoamérica. Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica haciendo énfasis en reportes asociados a roedores silvestres en los últimos 50 años. Como resultado se pudo establecer que los roedores silvestres seropositivos a la bacteria, en la mayoría de los casos, resultaban negativos en cultivo y los títulos eran bajos en comparación con la seroprevalencia en los animales domésticos, por lo que se deduce que son el principal factor de riesgo. Por tanto, es necesario establecer un control estricto en las explotaciones pecuarias, así como realizar estudios minuciosos, con el fin de disminuir los brotes en humanos e impedir la diseminación de la enfermedad a la fauna silvestre y la propagación de la enfermedad en humanos.Palabras clave: Leptospira, roedores, zoonosis, diagnóstico, reservorio, Latinoamérica. AbstractLeptospirosis is a disease of great importance in the world because of its zoonotic component, the purpose of this research was to establish a relation between the presence of the disease among domestic, human and wild rodents in Latin America. A review of available bibliography was conducted with an emphasis on reports associated with wild rodents in the last 50 years. As a result it was established that wild rodents that were seropositive to the bacteria, in most cases, had negative culture results and titles were low compared to the seroprevalence in pets, it therefore follows that they are 85
