According to NEA, Rats are vectors as they can transmit diseases to humans and animals. Rat-transmitted diseases, such as leptospirosis, hantavirus and murine typhus, can be passed to humans through direct contact or breathing in dust contaminated with rat urine or droppings, or via a flea bite from an infected rat.
