Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate common diseases occurring in the Hoary Bamboo rat (Rhizomys Pruinosus Blyth, 1851) in order to find the appropriate treatment and prevention strategy. The knowledge obtained from this study would be also used to reduce economic loss and to contribute for the control of zoonotic diseases. During the period of 12 months, at the Center of Applied Biotechnology of Dong Nai province, Vietnam, 60 Hoary Bamboo rats in captivity were observed. The results showed that the most common diseases were abscesses and bitting (5.56%), external parasites (33.3%) and opthalmic problems (7.78%). Cure rates were very high (100%). Generally, the Hoary Bamboo rat was well-adapted to the captive condition with simple diseases that caused little economic loss.
