Mite Infestation on Rattus tanezum rats in southwest China concerning risk models
<i>Rattus tanezumi</i> rats are highly susceptible to mite infestation, hosting a variety of mite species and multiple vector mite species. The presence of multiple vector mite species on these rats increases the potential risk of transmission and persistence of related zoonotic diseases. A series of environmental factors and host factors, especially temperature and relative humidity, can influence mite infestation. The predictive models developed can estimate the likelihood of each rat being infested with mites. Some mite species show a preference for co-existing on <i>R. tanezumi</i>.
