The various ectoparasites that feed on rats are capable of spreading many different diseases, including rat bite fever and bubonic plague. While the plague is uncommon in the United States today, it still appears periodically, including this year in New Mexico. However, rats don't even need to carry ectoparasites to spread disease. In fact, they are more than capable of spreading zoonotic diseases through contact with their urine and feces. A study from Columbia University in 2014 found that rats in New York carried everything from E. coli and salmonella to Seoul hantavirus and C. difficile. They don't carry rabies. That's the good news, says Corrigan.

The main species of Rat in New York is the Norway or Sewer rat. Arriving with the first boats to America they were first introduced to America in New York. Unlike the roof rat (common in NZ) which is a slender and shy animal the Norway rat is large, burly and gregarious.
