A preliminary survey of domestic rodent borne diseases and their fleas was carried out in ten centers of Menofiya (Quesna, Shebeen El-Kom, Berka El-Saabe, El-Bagour, El-Shohada, Tala, Menoff, Searth El-Lian, Ashmon and El-Sadat) Governorate, Egypt. Rodent index (number of rodent / trap) and percentage frequency of different rodent species were recorded in spring (2009). The main species was Norway rat, Rattus norvegicus, the grey-bellied rat, R. rattus alexandrinus, the white- bellied rat, R. rattus frugivorus and the house mouse, Mus musculus. Searth El-Lian center showed the highest existing rodent- index, while Quesna center showed the lowest existing rodent-index. The Norway rat, R. norvegicus showed higher frequency at Shebeen El-Kom, Berka El-Saabe, El-Baguur, Searth El-Lian and El-Sadat. R. rattus alexandrinus showed higher frequency at Tala center, while Rattus rattusfrugivorus showed higher frequency at El-Shohada, Menoff and Ashmon. M. masculus showed the lower frequency at all centers. The common flea species attacking rodents at all centers were: the oriental rat flea, Xenopsylla cheopis, the mouse flea, Lyptopsylla segnis and the dog flea, Ctenocephalides canis. The flea index (number of flea/rodent) at Searth El-Lian was the highest, while Shebeen El- Kom showed the lowest index. The oriental rat flea, X. cheopis was the highest frequency distribution for all domestic rodent species studied while, the dog flea, C.s canis was the lowest. The adult rodents showed the higher frequency with fleas than juveniles.
在埃及米努夫省的10个中心（凯斯纳、舍宾埃尔库姆、贝卡萨阿贝、巴古尔、烈士城、塔拉、米努夫、塞尔特埃利安、阿什蒙和萨达特）对当地啮齿动物传播的疾病及其跳蚤进行了初步调查。在2009年春季记录了啮齿动物指数（啮齿动物数量/捕鼠器数量）和不同啮齿动物物种的出现频率。主要物种有褐家鼠、黑腹大鼠、黄胸鼠和小家鼠。塞尔特埃利安中心的现有啮齿动物指数最高，而凯斯纳中心的现有啮齿动物指数最低。褐家鼠在舍宾埃尔库姆、贝卡萨阿贝、巴古尔、塞尔特埃利安和萨达特出现的频率较高。黑腹大鼠在塔拉中心出现的频率较高，而黄胸鼠在烈士城、米努夫和阿什蒙出现的频率较高。小家鼠在所有中心出现的频率较低。在所有中心攻击啮齿动物的常见跳蚤种类有：印鼠客蚤、缓慢细蚤和犬栉首蚤。塞尔特埃利安的跳蚤指数（跳蚤数量/啮齿动物数量）最高，而舍宾埃尔库姆的指数最低。印鼠客蚤在所研究的所有家栖啮齿动物物种中分布频率最高，而犬栉首蚤的分布频率最低。成年啮齿动物身上有跳蚤的频率高于幼年啮齿动物。
