Rats are medically important because they are known to carry many diseases such as food poisoning, rat bite fever, Weil’s disease, rickettsial diseases, and plague. Rats have also been known to bite. Their gnawing habits can damage property and lead to fires if they grow on wire insulation. Their droppings contaminate food and surroundings, and their burrows damage landscape and can lead to erosion.
