| description | It is almost impossible to find a plague-related
news item today that is not
accompanied by an image of a rat. The best-known
carriers of zoonotic
diseases, rats are so closely identified with plague that research articles about
the role of other mammals in the spread or maintenance of the disease are
met with enthusiasm in the media—and
in some cases mistakenly hailed as
exonerating rats from the spread of plague. This tautology between rat and
plague is articulated in a context of framing an expanding range of nonhuman
animals as hosts or vectors of infectious diseases such as influenza,
Ebola, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and COVID-19 |
