Practitioners may be called on to treat rodents with respiratory diseases or to advise clients concerning the care of these rodents. Respiratory diseases of mice, rats, guinea pigs, and Syrian hamsters are well known because of the use of these species in research, whereas few or no reports of respiratory disease in rodents of other species exist. Features of the respiratory diseases of these four commonly encountered species are reviewed, including causes; clinical signs; diagnostic procedures; preventive measures; and, where appropriate, therapies.
从业者可能需要治疗患有呼吸道疾病的啮齿动物，或就这些啮齿动物的护理向客户提供建议。由于小鼠、大鼠、豚鼠和叙利亚仓鼠在研究中的应用，它们的呼吸道疾病广为人知，而其他物种的啮齿动物呼吸道疾病的报告很少或没有。本文综述了这四种常见物种呼吸道疾病的特征，包括病因、临床症状、诊断程序、预防措施以及适当情况下的治疗方法。
