Abstract

Abstract: Rodents are not only causing massive damage to human production and life, but they also can pose a great threat to human life and health as they carry pathogens. Controlling the rodent population can reduce rodent infestation and effectively prevent rodent-borne diseases. This review demonstrates the relationship between biological, soil, meteorological, human activities and rodents, and clarifies the influence of environmental factors, human activities on rodents, which provides references for effective control of rodent infestation and scientific prevention and control of rodent-borne disease epidemics.

Key words: Rodents, Population density, Environmental factors, Human activities, Rodent-borne disease

摘要： 鼠类不仅给人类生产生活造成损失，而且因其携带病原体，对人类生命健康造成巨大威胁。控制鼠类动物数量，可减少鼠害和有效阻止鼠传疾病的发生及流行。该文概述了生物、土壤、气象、人类活动等因素与鼠类的关系，论述环境因素、人类活动对鼠类的影响，为有效控制鼠害，科学防控鼠传疾病发生流行提供参考。
