The death toll from a disease transmitted through rat and rodent droppings in Turkey has reached 190 cases, according to Turkish newspaper Sozcu. The disease is transmitted through direct contact with rodent feces or inhalation of contaminated particles, with prominent types including hemorrhagic fever and rat-borne yellow fever.
If you are in Turkey or planning to travel there, you should avoid contact with rodents and their droppings especially in rural areas and warehouses, and improve ventilation in homes. The high numbers indicate widespread infection transmission, which requires strict health precautions and avoidance of places where rodents are prevalent.
