Bacteria Streptobacillus moniliformis found in North America

Bacteria Spirillum minus found in Asia

These bacteria are found in the mouth and nose of rodents

The environmental conditions of these areas do not really have an effect because rats will already have this bacteria.

However places, like streets, that are unsanitary, have a higher amount of rats that could potentially put humans in danger of rat-bite fever.

The disease from a bite of a rat has been known in India for over 2,000 years. But has been more commonly known as rat-bite fever.
