Prevalence and drivers of ectoparasite abundance on Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) in New York City residential complexes

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Norway rat ectoparasite burden varied by residential microhabitat, host traits, and trap type, showing that urban rodent management should address both rat burden and ectoparasite persistence in residential buildings. Abstract BACKGROUND Norway rats, Rattus norvegicus (Berkenhout), can carry ectoparasites of public health importance.
