DOI: 10.1016/j.ijppaw.2019.03.017
Abstract: Wild rats (Rattus spp.) carry many zoonotic pathogens including Cryptosporidium. Due to the close proximity of rats to humans in urban environments, the potential for disease transmission is high. Cryptosporidium is a protozoan parasite which… read more here.
