BACKGROUND: @entity4536 ( @entity4536 ) is a neglected disease with public health importance that is common in many rural areas of Iran. In recent years, behavioral resistance and/or bait shyness against the common rodenticide among reservoir hosts of @entity4536 have been reported. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of Klerat   and @entity61873 against natural reservoir of @entity4536 . METHODS: This survey was carried out in four villages located 45 to 95 km far from Esfahan City Esfahan province, central Iran from April to November 2011. The @entity2618 were counted destroyed and reopened holes baited around all villages. Effect of rodent control operation on the main vector density and incidence of @entity4536 were evaluated. RESULTS: The reduction rate of @entity2618 after intervention calculated to be at 62.8% in Klerat   and 58.15% in @entity61873 treated areas. Statistical analysis showed no difference between the densities of the vector in indoors and outdoors in intervention and control areas. The incidence of the disease between treated and control areas after intervention was statistically different (P< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Klerat   could be a suitable alternative for @entity61873 in a specific condition such as behavior resistance or occurrence of bait shyness.
