martync1967 64 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 dont think the back death will return what with all the new medicines and that coming out as for the rats half a dozen terriers should solve that in time Link to post
TOMO 26,156 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 IN ACTUAL FACT the black death (plauge) was carried by the black rat or ship rat, there are very few of these in the uk now. that being said i think it could be carried by the brown rat anyway. there are out breaks of plauge around the world from time to time usualy in 3rd world countrys. there are 2 types of plauge if my memory serves , bubonic and newmonic ( spelling) more likly to get weils disease in the uk, or any number of other nastys thats rats carry TOMO Link to post
bullet 125 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 (edited) so you actually think it stops at wild rats,WRONG there was a report about two years ago that a pet rat bit its owner and then the owner died a few weeks later through the cause,yellows be wild,tame,brown or black they can be carriers no matter what atb bullet p.s. http://www.theargus.co.uk/news/1717538.pet_rat_kills_owner/ edited to put up link Edited January 13, 2009 by bullet Link to post
ChrisJones 7,975 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Rat population levels, in Britain, are ridiculous in some areas. I don't think an outbreak of rodent borne diseases is out of the question. None of the local Environmental Health departments have the balls, or the funding to tackle it either. They're too busy spunking tax payers money on severance packages for directors. Link to post
just jack 998 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 thought it came from the flea of the black rat not sure though Link to post
Halfinch 51 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 It could soon be back if people like you keep running away from them Get yourself a few lads with terriers, and have a bloody good time in the barn. Less rats = less chance of diseases. OUR LIVES ARE IN YOU HANDS. Link to post

IanB 0 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 Don't worry about the plague in rats, worry about the people who have biological warfare at their disposal, the likes of america and russia with smallpox, two places in the world were it remains in their labratories... You don't want these guys losing a drop, why do they keep it you tell me, war or vaccines (there is none to some)?????? Theres some nasty stuff about http://www.fas.org/biosecurity/resource/agents.htm Link to post

Theres some nasty stuff about http://www.fas.org/biosecurity/resource/agents.htm They were supposed to have totally eradicated smallpox from the face of the earth, turns out that the Russians have got live samples of the stuff locked away. It would be naive to think that the likes of the UK & the US haven't followed suit... Link to post

It would be naive to think that the likes of the UK & the US haven't followed suit... America and Russia still have it contained in labratories.. Smallpox virus, an orthopoxvirus with a narrow host range confined to humans, was an important cause of morbidity and mortality in the developing world until recent times. Although the World Health Organization declared the virus eradicated in 1980, eradication of the natural disease was completed in 1977 and the last human cases, associated with laboratory infections, occurred in 1978. The virus exists today in only 2 laboratory repositories, one in the U.S. and the other in Russia. Appearance of human cases outside the laboratory would signal use of the virus as a biological weapon. Under natural conditions, the virus is transmitted by direct (face-to face) contact with an infected case, by fomites, and occasionally by aerosols. Smallpox virus is highly stable and retains infectivity for long periods outside of the host. A related virus, monkeypox, clinically resembles smallpox and causes sporadic human disease in West and Central Africa. Link to post

I'd only heard of the Russians having it, I can remember reading about it in one of the papers years ago, probably during the cold war! Link to post
