Can hamsters spread plague? This issue has always been the focus of debate among people. I would like to express my personal views on this issue. To understand this problem, we must first understand what is plague? And how does the plague spread?

 Can hamsters spread plague (plague), a natural infectious disease caused by Yersinia pestis? . Bubonic plague is caused by the transmission of rat fleas through human skin, and pneumonic plague is caused by transmission through the respiratory tract. Clinical manifestations include fever, lymphadenopathy, pneumonia, and bleeding tendency. It can develop into sepsis, is highly contagious, and has a high mortality rate. It is one of the most serious infectious diseases that harms humans. Through investigation, it was found that the main transmission route of plague is rat flea bites, followed by direct contact with infected animals through hunting, slaughtering, skinning and eating meat, or infection through droplets. </p><p>The above are only transmission routes, but in our daily life, especially in urban life, it is almost difficult for us to come into contact with pests such as rat fleas. Therefore, plague is not inherently carried, but requires the spread of pathogens. Domestic hamsters live in cages from birth, and their diet and living environment are hygienic and safe. Such hamsters will not be infected with plague, let alone infect humans. </p><p style= Can hamsters spread plague?

In addition, although the plague is mainly transmitted by rat fleas, anyone who is bitten by a rat flea carrying the plague virus People, cats and dogs who pass by may become infected and continue to spread plague. Therefore, if you are worried that your hamster will be infected with plague, then your neighbor’s cats and dogs are also at the same risk, and dogs have to go outdoors every day. In theory, the risk of contracting plague is higher than being in a cage every day. The hamster is much taller. So since you don't worry about cats and dogs being infected with plague, you don't have to worry about hamsters that have been artificially selected and only move within a small area.

Although the possibility of domestic hamsters being infected with plague has been ruled out, the possibility of bacterial infection cannot be ruled out when raising and coming into contact with hamsters. Be sure to clean and disinfect your hamster's cage regularly, even after removing the hamster's feces, because their feces are one of the main ways for the spread of bacteria. Furthermore, when cleaning and bathing your hamster, you must not wash it with water, but choose bath sand specially designed for hamsters.

In short, can domestic hamsters be infected with plague? The answer is no. Unless your hamster has an unknown origin, if these unknown hamsters have been exposed to pathogens in the wild, they may carry infectious diseases. Therefore, when buying a hamster, you must choose a regular merchant to ensure that the hamster you buy is healthy.
