Rattus norvegicus

The brown rat, Rattus norvegicus (also known as grey, house, sewer, Norway, or wharf rat): This species is cosmopolitan, but thought to have originated in Asia. It has spread gradually around the entire world during the last two centuries through international trade and human settlement. Its range is limited to coastal areas especially ports. In many Asian countries it is displaced by B. bengalensis. It is the most important species in Europe, because it lives in close proximity to man and has often been responsible for passing diseases on to man. Living in close social groups, it may be rated as the major post-harvest rodent pest in Europe.
