Millions of households in the US own rabbits or rodents, including hamsters, guinea pigs, and gerbils. Activities such as hunting and camping also involve human interactions with wild rabbits and rodents. In many environments, feral rabbits and rodents live in close proximity to humans, domesticated animals, and other wildlife. Education of rodent and rabbit owners and individuals with occupational or recreational exposures to these species is paramount to reduce the prevalence of zoonoses associated with rabbit and rodent exposure.
美国数百万家庭饲养兔子或啮齿动物，包括仓鼠、豚鼠和沙鼠。狩猎和露营等活动也涉及人类与野兔和啮齿动物的接触。在许多环境中，野兔和啮齿动物与人类、家畜及其他野生动物生活在近距离范围内。对啮齿动物和兔子的主人以及在职业或娱乐活动中接触这些物种的个人进行教育，对于降低与接触兔子和啮齿动物相关的人畜共患病的流行率至关重要。
