How the plague is caused
Plague is a severe infectious disease that The pathogen is Yersinia pestis. This deadly bacterium has three main routes of transmission. The main route of transmission is the bite of rat fleas, rodents and some wild mammals. Rodents transmit germs to humans who are bitten, and infected people become new sources of infection, and then spread the germs to more people through coughing, skin contact, etc., causing the spread of plague to expand.
However, although the first infected animals of the plague were rodents, most of the infected animals were voles and other bacteria-carrying rodents. Although the guinea pig is also one of the rodent species, after the continuous development of the society, the guinea pig has been artificially raised as early as hundreds of years ago. Until today, the guinea pig has basically no chance of being infected with Yersinia pestis, so Nor does it cause plague.
Unless the owner of the guinea pig always forces the guinea pig to go out for actual combat, in order to improve the guinea pig’s ability to survive in the wild, it will be released into the jungle and let them be exposed to the wind, sun and rain in the wild, otherwise, Guinea pigs are unlikely to be infected with Yersinia pestis. Of course, I believe that there will not be such a “peculiar” owner. If there is, then he should not worry about the guinea pig infected with the plague. Therefore, pet owners who want to raise guinea pigs, please rest assured that under normal feeding conditions, guinea pigs will not have plague, so don’t worry about this.
Reminder: Since guinea pigs were raised in captivity, there has never been a single case of guinea pigs infected with plague, especially since guinea pigs have been raised as pet pigs , it is even more impossible, pet owners don’t have to worry, just keep it safe!
