Do baby mice carry diseases

Answer 1

It is very likely that a baby mouse may carry a disease, but not all do. It all depends on the habitat and, of course, what the mouse may consume. Mice can also be born with the disease( for example: the hantavirus).

Answer 2

Rats carry a wide variety of diseases, such as Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrom, Murine Typhus, Rat-Bite Fever, Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, Leptospirosis, and Eosinophilic Meningitis. This is just all of the disease that humans can catch through infected rat urine, feces, bites, scratches, and infected air inhalation.

Answer 3

Cats can carry a variety of diseases and parasites, but many are

only going to infect other cats. Some of the diseases that are transmissible

to humans are as follows.

• Cat scratch disease aka cat scratch fever: A bacterial infection, usually found in kittens and transmitted by scratches.
• Toxoplasmosis: A parasitic protozoa that can be contracted by contact with cat feces.
• Ringworm: This actually isn't a worm at all, but a fungus called Dermatophytes. It forms red lesions on the skin, surrounded by a ring of elevated skin, and can be spread from animals to humans.
• Hookworms & Roundworms: These are actual parasites that some animals can carry. Humans can become infested by eating soil or sand contaminated by the animal's feces, so it is most often a threat to young children.
• Tetanus: Also known as "lockjaw" because of the way it makes muscles contract, this can be spread from cats to humans via deep bites.
• Rabies:

• Rabies: The one that scares everyone, rabies can be carried and transmitted by cats. In humans, it usually takes a few months for the virus to incubate before the onset of symptoms. The initial infection appears as flu-like symptoms, but the final stages may not appear for weeks or even years. It is almost always fatal if not treated before the severe symptoms begin.
