Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the population density 
of some rodent species attacked greenhouses. Experiments were 
carried out during two successive years (2020-2021) (2021-
2022) in Sohag (umm Duma village tama district) and Qena 
Ezbat AL Busa (Abu Tasht district) Governorates. Results 
showed that Mus musculus, (Linnaeus), The house mouse, Mus 
musculus (Linnaeus), was the dominant mouse, followed by the 
Norway rat, R. norvegicus, and then the Nile rat, Arvicanthis 
niloticus (Desm.) while the least amount of white-bellied rat, 
Rattus rattus frugivorus (Rafinesque), was found in greenhouses 
in Sohag Governorate during two seasons. In comparison to 
farmed land in the Sohag Governorate, Survey analyzes the 
rodent species in the newly reclaimed scmi - desert area in Qena 
Governorate result proved that house mouse, Mus 
musculus(Linnaeus) was the highest caught number followed by 
the lesser Gerbillus gerbillus while the R.rattus frugivours was 
the lowest caught number in greenhouses at Qena Governorate on 
the other hand the highest population densities were trapped in 
autumn followed by summer in both two Governorate during 
season (2020-2021) in the second season (2021- 2022) the 
highest population densities were trapped in summer followed by 
autumn in both Governorates.
