Abstract
The rodent species trapped from different habitats at Giza and Beheira Governorates were recorded. The black rat, R. rattus (Linn.), the Norway rat, R. norvegicus (Berk.) and the house mouse, Mus musculus Linn., were found at Giza and Beheira Governorates. The Nile grass rat [ A. niloticus (Desm.)]  was recorded in fields only found  at Giza governorate. The roof rat, Rattus rattus (Linn.) was recorded in houses (147 &108 individuals), fields (20&134 individuals) and animal buildings (55&34 individuals) at Giza and Beheira Governorates respectively. In addition, R. norvegicus (Berk.) was recorded in animal buildings 85 individuals at Giza Governorate and houses were 85 & 10 individuals recoded at Giza and Beheira Governorates respectively. A. niloticus (Desm.) was 14 individuals  recorded in fields only at Giza Governorate and Mus musculus Linn., was 3 individuals recorded in fields at Giza Governorate and houses was 2 individuals recoded at Giza and Beheira Governorates. The total numbers mature and immature males individuals of R. norvegicus (Berk.) were 77indivduals (45.3%) and 18 individuals (10.6%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 69 individuals (40.6%) and 6 individuals (3.5%) respectively. The total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus frugivorous were 68 individuals (51.1%) and 2 individuals (1.5%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 56 individuals (42.1%) and 7 individuals (5.3%) respectively at Giza Governorate. In the same time, the total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus frugivorous were 65 individuals (42.8%) and 13 individuals (8.6%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 63 individuals (41.4%) and 16 individuals (10.5%) respectively at Beheira Governorate. The total numbers mature and immature males individuals ofR. rattus rattus were 35 individuals (47.3%) and 6 individuals (8.1%) respectively, while mature and immature females individuals were 30 individuals (40.5%) and 7 individuals (4.1%) respectively at Giza Governorate. In the same time, the total numbers mature  males and females individuals ofR. rattus rattus were 50 individuals (42.1%) respectively, while immature males and females individuals were 11 individuals (9.2%) and 8 individuals (6.7%) respectively at Beheira Governorate.
