The following zoological diseases cause high fevers and are passed onto humans by other animals, as well as rats.
Leptospirosis:

And don't blame this one just on the rats. Other animals carry Leptospirosis as well, including dogs.
Salmonella

Salmonella from eggs

Again, don't blame this one just on the rats. Other animals carry Salmonella, especially reptiles, as well as the contamination of our food sources by growers and manufacturers.
Will continue later...................too tired.
