Field trials of a new sub-acute rodenticide flupropadine, against wild Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus).
Fifteen experimental treatments with rodenticidal baits containing 0.1, 0.15 or 0.2% flupropadine were conducted on farmsteads against Rattus norvegicus infestations. Eight treatments were completely successful and the others gave kills ranging from 36 to 72% in 28 days. Treatments with 0.1 and 0.15% flupropadine were less successful against large infestations than against small ones. Flupropad...
متن کاملFood Neophobia in Wild Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Inhabiting a Changeable Environment—A Field Study
Food neophobia is a reaction to novel food observed in many animal species, particularly omnivores, including Rattus norvegicus. A neophobic reaction is typically characterised by avoidance of novel food and the necessity to assess both its potential value and toxicity by the animal. It has been hypothesised that this reaction is not observed in rats inhabiting a changeable environment with a h...
متن کاملDistribution of anticoagulant rodenticide resistance in Rattus norvegicus in the Netherlands according to Vkorc1 mutations
BACKGROUND Rodenticide resistance to anticoagulants in Rattus norvegicus will lead to increased difficulties in combating these pest animals. Here, the authors present the results of a survey in the Netherlands where tissue samples and droppings were tested using a newly developed TaqMan PCR test for genotypic variation at codon 139 in the Vkorc1 gene associated with anticoagulant rodenticide r...
متن کاملQuantity Discrimination in Domestic Rats, Rattus norvegicus
Quantity discrimination is a basic form of numerical competence where an animal distinguishes which of two amounts is greater in size. Whilst quantity discrimination in rats has been investigated via training paradigms, rats' natural quantity discrimination abilities without explicit training for a desired response have not been explored. This study investigated domestic rats' ability to perfor...
متن کاملLesions associated with Eucoleus sp. in the non-glandular stomach of wild urban rats (Rattus norvegicus)
Histological lesions associated with Eucoleus sp. infection of the non-glandular stomach were discovered in a wild, urban population of Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) trapped over a 1-year period in Vancouver, Canada. Four distinct categories of histological lesions in the non-glandular stomach were identified in association with infection in a sample of 183 rats. The apparent prevalence of Eu...
