Abstract Rodent control in urban areas is an important public health measure, among other reasons, for their capacity of harboring several zoonotic pathogens. Efficient, evidence-based control programs must consider both rodent and pathogen ecology, to achieve both rodent population and pathogen transmission risk reduction. The present study aims to determine the ecological drivers of Leptospira and Hantavirus positivity in an urban Norway Rat population. One hundred and twenty rats were trapped in four urban poor c
