In Alberta, there are seven species of mice and 12 species of voles.  \nThe most troublesome and economically important of the species found in Alberta are the house mouse, the whitefooted mouse and the meadow vole (commonly called field mouse) .  \nEconomic losses to mice  \nThere is no way of placing a monetary value on human suffering and damage caused by mice. The greatest loss is probably not what mice eat, but what is wasted and contaminated.  \nPublic health impact  \nMice and their parasites are implicated in the transmission of a number of diseases including salmonellosis, rickettsialpox and most recently hantavirus. Bacterial food poisoning occurs when foods are contaminated with infected rodent droppings. Mice also carry many types of tapeworms and roundworms, infectious to pets and humans.  \nHantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS), which causes severe illness and even death in humans, is transmitted by several mouse species including the white-footed mouse.  \nTo reduce the risk of contacting organisms transmitted by mice, you should practise these common sense precautions:  \nIn six months, one pair of mice can eat  \nmore than two kilograms (4 lbs. ) of food • Eliminate mice from residential areas  \naFnoddecpoonstaboutminate1d8b,0yiroisppabingsout .ten Food byfor remomiceving food sources and access  \ntfedsgreatewastedrhyan wmouaetniieablenng .iAsou,ch contaminated by • Cbylean upusingmwouset mee-cthtas,minated arcludingeas moremice, tthanhatiwhatt is neatenwonde. rSo commotheir hairsnaarend mice is about ten • diHsainnfecdletanmitcsesuchandaosthachrode. nts with etoacsesooroporepdiadingtiess,, fenroupcan all typesned beans times greaterthan what is • voeedidn psndeepsib,goarevacuumar a dusngmask Structural damage caused by rodents can eaten to reduce exposure to fine dust  \nbe expensive.

They also undermine buildings by burrowing, projects”  \nwhich eventually causes structural failure and collapse. • De-worm household and farmyard pets regularly.  \nElectrical wiring gnawed by mice causes many fires each year, listed as “cause unknown”.  \nIdentification  \nThe house mouse is a delicate, agile, little rodent. It has a slightly pointed nose; relatively small feet; small, black, somewhat protruding eyes; large, sparsely-haired ears; anda nearly hairless tail about as long as its body, with obvious scale rings. They vary in colour but are generally grayishbrown throughout with a gray or buff belly.  \nAdults weigh 10-30 g (2/5 to one oz.) and measure 65 to 90 mm (2 1/2 to 3 3/4 in.) in total body length, includingthe tail.  \nThe house mouse is not native to North America. It originated from Asia, arriving and travelling across North America with settlers from Europe and elsewhere.  \nA very adaptive species, the house mouse depends upon man for shelter and food, particularly in cooler climates, and this close association with humans classifies it as a“commensal rodent”(like the Norway rat) .  \nFigure 1. The house mouse  \nThe white-footed mouse or deer mouse is a native species with white feet, white or light-coloured undersides, and brownish upper surfaces. The tail is distinctly bi-coloured; the upper portions brown or gray, the underside white, with a well-defined line where the two colours meet. White-footed mice are about the same size as, or slightly larger than house mice and, at a distance, may be confused with house mice. The bi-coloured tail differentiates one","cbCaiqLrNuGJJZTm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqLrNuGJJZTm","pdf",301135,7,"English","# Economic losses to mice\n# Public health impact\n# Precautions to reduce risk\n# Identification\n## House mouse\n## White-footed (deer) mouse\n## Meadow vole (field mouse)\n# Food habits\n# Life history","[{\"question\":\"What are the main mouse species of concern in Alberta?\",\"answer\":\"The document identifies the house mouse, the white-footed mouse, and the meadow vole (commonly called the field mouse) as the most troublesome and economically important species in Alberta.\"},{\"question\":\"How do mice cause economic losses and contamination?\",\"answer\":\"It states that human suffering can’t be valued monetarily, and the greatest loss is what is wasted and contaminated.
