Rats have been, and continue to be, the source of numerous zoonotic pathogens (i.e., pathogens transmissible to people) responsible for significant human morbidity and mortality in cities around the world. A number of these pathogens (including the etiologic agent of the plague) are transmitted among rats and from rats to people by fleas. While disease in rats is influenced by a variety of factors including health status and chronic stress, the subsequent spread of disease to other rats and to people is directly related to how rats move within and interact with their environment.

老鼠一直是，并将继续是许多人畜共患病病原体(即可传播给人的病原体)的来源，这些病原体对世界各地城市的重大人类发病率和死亡率负有责任。其中许多病原体(包括鼠疫的病原体)在老鼠之间传播，并通过跳蚤从老鼠传播给人。虽然大鼠的疾病受到包括健康状况和慢性应激在内的各种因素的影响，但随后疾病向其他大鼠和人的传播直接与大鼠在内部的运动方式以及与环境的相互作用有关。
