Abstract
Susceptibility of Rattus norvegicus. Arvjcanthis niloticus and Rattua rattus to five different anticoagulant rodenticides were studied by feeding free-choice tests. these anticoagulants were brodifacoum (0.005%). difenacoum (0. 005 %); flocoumafen (0. 005%) and chlorophacinone (0.005%); each as whole wheat grains bait; in addition to chlorophacinone (0.012%+ sulfachinoxaline (0. 019%) as crushed maize mixed with husks of sun - flower seeds The results showed that difenacoum proved to be more effective against R. norvegicus and Arvjcanthis niloticus; chlorophacinone/ sulfachinoxaline mixture was more effective against A. niloticus but chlorophacinone and brodifacoum were more effective against Rattus rattus at the recommended dosages. These compounds completely killed the mentioned rats with lowest cumulative dose during the shortest time to death. On the other hand, A. niloticus and Rattus rattus were less susceptible to chlorophacinone and difenacoum at the recontended dosage. Therefore, the recommended dosage of chlorophacinone and difenacoum should be increased to be more effective against A. niloticus and Rattus rattus. It could be concluded that. all the tested anticoagulant rodenticides could be used to control R. norvegicus. A niloticus and R. rattus in exception of difenacoum and chlorophacinone against R. rattus and A. niloticus. In other wards R. rattus and A niloticus may have developed resistance to difenacoum and chlorophacinone at the recommended dosage.
