摘要

Rodents such as Rattus rattus and Rattus norvegicus have adapted to living close to human settlements[1]. This presents a public health challenge as these rodents are considered as pests that can transmit a number of zoonotic diseases to humans[1,2]. A rodent surveillance programme was initiated between the years 2014 and 2015, focusing on rodents captured at wet markets where there is abundant food and considerable human traffic.
