摘要

目的:研究奥巴费米大学学生宿舍黑鼠的形态和对饵料的偏好,以控制学生宿舍黑鼠的数量。研究地点和时间:该研究在Obafemi Awolowo大学进行,该大学位于尼日利亚西南部的一座古城Ile-Ife,位于纬度7°28′N和7.467°N之间,经度4°34′e和4.567°e之间,2017年12月至2018年2月期间,陆地面积为5506公顷。在2017年12月至2018年2月的3个月期间,每两周在不同采样地点(Awolowo、Fajuyi、安哥拉、Akintola、莫桑比克和Moremi宿舍楼)放置当地制造的金属陷阱(笼式陷阱)(盘1)。这些陷阱是在晚上在这些地点的黑暗角落周围设置的,并在第二天早上(早上6点)收集。结果:共捕获黑鼠236只(雄鼠81只,雌鼠155只),其中雌鼠体重最大(238.30 g)。使用的饵料中,炸鱼捕获黑鼠最多(58%),其次是豆饼(akara)(28%)和刺槐豆(14%)。各鼠舍捕获的黑鼠形态呈正相关。结论:大学生宿舍黑鼠属同科,以炸鱼为最佳饵料。

Morphology and Bait Preference of Black Rat (Rattus rattus) in the University Community in Nigeria: Obafemi Awolowo University as a Case Study
Aims: This study assessed the morphology and the bait preference of black rat (Rattus rattus) in Obafemi Awolowo University student hostel with the aim of controlling the population of black rat in the students’ hostels. Place and Duration of the Study: The study was carried out at Obafemi Awolowo University which is situated in Ile-Ife, an ancient city in the Southwestern Nigeria and lies between latitudes 7°28′N and 7.467°N and longitudes 4°34′E and 4.567°Ewith a landmass of 5,506 hectares between December 2017 and February 2018 Methodology: Locally made metal traps (cage traps) (Plate 1) contains baits were placed fortnightly in various sampling locations (Awolowo, Fajuyi, Angola, Akintola, Mozambique and Moremi halls of residence) for a period of 3 months between the months of December 2017 to February 2018. The traps were set around the dark corners of the sites in the evening and collected the following morning (6.00am). Results: A total of 236 black rats (Rattus rattus) were caught (81 male & 155 female), with the female having the highest weight (238.30 g). Among the baits used, fried fish caught the highest number of the black rat (58%) followed by beans cake (akara) (28%) and the locust bean (14%). There was a positive correlation in the morphology of the black rat caught in all the hostels. Conclusion: The black rats in the University student hall of residence were of the same family and genus, and fried fish is the best-preferred bait.
