....Rats are the source of numerous diseases such as leptospirosis, bubonic plague, hantavirus and some caused by different parasites. "Three different species inhabit the city: Rattus norvegicus , R. rattus and Mus musculus ," says Olga Suárez, a CONICET researcher and director of the Urban Rodent Ecology laboratory at the UBA Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences....
....The types of rats in the city
Rattus norvegicus, R. rattus and Mus musculus are the three species of commensal rodents present in the city of Buenos Aires.
Rattus norvegicus is the dominant species in riverside areas of the city, in parks and, in particular, in slums, since it is associated with environments with the presence of bodies of water, high vegetation cover and availability of land which it uses for dig their burrows.
Rattus rattus, adapted to climbing and frequently using difficult-to-access environments (walls, roofs, trees, climbing plants, vines, etc.) in the city, is more abundant in residential environments, with a higher proportion of tall buildings and with low availability of earth. Mus musculus is frequently found together with R. norvegicus in green spaces and parks, but its presence is also dominant in slums, where, unlike other rats, it lives mostly indoors.
