“…5,6 In the Pampean region of Argentina, M. musculus is mainly present in poultry farms, while it is scarce in cropfields which are the dominant element of the landscape. 7,8 On farms, it causes losses and contamination of chicken food and it is involved in the transmission of several diseases to humans and chickens. It is present in almost all poultry farms of the area, in spite of the application of anticoagulants.…”

“…The low abundance of M. musculus observed in cropfields, borders and riparian habitats may explain the results of previous work where we found that rodent control in poultry farms is not more successful when anticoagulants are applied at a larger spatial scale (including not only poultry sheds, but also perimeters and surrounding habitats, León et al 2009).…”

“…Most of them have 3 rectangular sheds (Gómez . Rodent chemical control by anticoagulants is performed in all farms, but not in a systematic way, and, in many cases, there is population recovery between anticoagulant applications (León et al 2009). Therefore, the population of rodents may be limited, but not eradicated (Gómez .…”

“…We have previously studied different aspects of the biology of M. musculus and their relationship to its control, in agrarian systems, but these studies have been mainly conducted in poultry farms (León et al 2007(León et al , 2009(León et al , 2010Miño et al 2007). At present, there is no quantitative information regarding the distribution and abundance of M. musculus in non-commensal habitats, such as cropfields, cropfield borders, pastures, woodlots, riparian habitats and railway embankments.…”

The main goal of the paper was to determine the habitat distribution of the house mouse (Mus musculus) within a rural landscape of Buenos Aires province, Argentina. We also studied the seasonal variation in abundance and reproductive activity. The habitats studied were poultry farms, human houses in a small village, cropfields, pastures, cropfield and pasture edges, riparian habitats (streams), railway embankments and woodlots. We captured 817 M. musculus and 690 individuals of 5 native rodent species. M. musculus was captured in poultry farms, houses, riparian habitats, cropfield and borders, but it showed a significantly higher abundance in poultry farms compared to the other habitats. Its presence outside poultry farms was significantly related to the distance to streams and poultry farms. The mean trapping success index of M. musculus did not show significant variations between periods, but the proportion of active males was significantly higher in the spring-summer period than in the autumn-winter period. All captures of M. musculus in cropfields, borders and riparian habitats occurred in the spring-summer period. The capture of M. musculus in many types of habitats suggests that it can disperse outside poultry farms, and streams may be used as corridors.

RESUMENSe realizó una búsqueda sistemática para identificar publicaciones sobre la seguridad ante la exposición de raticidas que contienen Salmonella para humanos y animales. Se consideraron publicaciones a texto completo que incluían descripción de su metodología y la presentación adecuada de sus resultados. De 545 publicaciones recuperadas, 47 se revisaron a texto completo de las que se seleccionaron 12. En seis se reportan casos de salmonelosis en humanos, incluso casos fatales, asociados a la exposición a versiones anteriores de estos raticidas. El único ensayo clínico encontrado reporta una mayor frecuencia de diarrea y fiebre en el grupo que ingirió Salmonella contenida en Biorat® (presentación comercial actual); sin embargo, la diferencia no fue estadísticamente significativa, pero el ensayo presentó problemas metodológicos. Las cepas de Salmonella enteritidis contenidas en una versión anterior (Ratin®) y en la versión actual corresponden a la misma variedad (Danysz) y fagotipo (6a), y están cercanamente relacionadas según la técnica de electroforesis en gel de campo pulsado (PFGE). No se reporta efectos patógenos de esta Salmonella para las diferentes especies de animales ensayadas; sin embargo, se encontraron limitaciones en la metodología empleada. Se concluye que la Salmonella enteritidis contenida en versiones anteriores de raticidas produjo enfermedad en humanos por lo que fue prohibida su comercialización y que existiría un riesgo potencial de la versión actual por contener una bacteria muy similar y por no tener evidencia suficiente que garantice su seguridad. Son necesarios estudios bien diseñados por instituciones sin conflicto de interés, antes de su aplicación en salud pública o agricultura.Palabras clave: Rodenticidas; Salmonella; Salmonella enteritidis; Salud pública; Seguridad (Fuente: DeCS BIREME).. IS SAFETY FOR HUMAN AND ANIMAL HEALTH THE USE OF SALMONELLA-BASED RODENTICIDES ABSTRACTWe conducted a systematic search of the literature to identify publications on the safety of exposure to Salmonella-based rodenticides by humans and animals. We included full-text publications that described the methods and presented their results satisfactorily. Of 545 publications retrieved, 47 were reviewed in full text and from those 12 were selected. Six reports featured cases of salmonellosis in humans, with fatal cases, associated with exposure to previous versions of this type of rodenticide. A clinical trial reported an increased frequency of diarrhea and fever in the group that ingested Biorat ® (the current commercial form) containing Salmonella, however the difference from the control group was not significant, but the trial had methodological problems. Strains of Salmonella enteritidis from an earlier version of the rat poison (Ratin®) and those in the current version correspond to the same variety (Danyzs) and phage type (6a), and were found to be closely related using the technique of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). No pathogenic effects of this Salmonella were reported in different an...
