A) Trapping sites consisting of 3 contiguous city blocks. Each site was designated as a control or intervention site. Control sites did not involve culling (lethal animal removal); intervention sites included culling in the central block. B) Depiction of the study timeline. We first baited traps without capture to acclimatize rats to traps, then trapped and tagged rats with numbered ear tags and released the rats to their site of capture. After an intervention that involved culling rats in intervention sites, we resampled 3–6 weeks later to determine whether Bartonella spp. carriage differed between trapping periods before and after the intervention. https://vancouverratproject.ca/content/sewers monthly 0.5 2025-02-20 https://vancouverratproject.ca/content/policy-and-programming monthly 0.5 2025-02-20 https://vancouverratproject.ca/content/enteric-bacteria monthly 0.5 2025-02-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e540daeb835d243da338038/21ca1638-2f60-42fd-a4b3-b1e6f6957957/journal.pntd.0011669.g001.PNG Content -
