Las ratas negras y la Peste

AL ministerio de agriculture y, apa-
rentemente, al ministerfo de sanidad
de Gran Bretaaa, Sc les atribuyen cier
tas manifestations acerca de las ra-
tas negras, manifestations que son
err6neas que han nevado la confu-
sion a muchas gentes
Sc l1a echado a volar la especie de
que numerosas rataS negras 'portado-
ras de la peste' han estado "enugran
do'' desde los muelles de Londres al
distrtto de Battersea, de donde resulta
que el plblico So encuentra frente
un pehgro muy grave, y que La extin-
ci6n de las ratas negras es un profile
ma que debe resolverse con la mayor
urgencia. No puede negarse que estes
animales son una amenaza constantc,
pero 81 es cierto que tales declaracio-
nes han sido hechas por un funciona-
rio pIblico, es precise que. este ignore
en- absolute cuanto Sc relaciona con las
ratas con la parte que tienen en- la
propagation de intermediates.
La rata negra no es necesariamente
propagadora de la peste, pues a este
respecto no SO distingue de las demas
clases de ratas; aun cuando Sc la
ha llamado ''la rata negra inglesa
no es nativa de la Gran Bretaiia. Pro-
cedente del Asia, cruz6 despacio y en-
hordas voraces las estepas de Russia,
siguiendo su marcha hacia Ell oeste has
ia internarse en- Inglaterra. Sc cree que
lego principles de la Edad Media
y es probable que las pulgas que ira
jera consigo fueran Las portadoras de
La peste. Algunos siglos despues las
ratas pardas, mayores y mas feroces,
cruzaron Ell continente desde Russia, en-
grandes manadas; Sc supone que su en-
trada Inglaterra tuvo lugar apro-
ximadamente durante ell reinado de
Jorge II y tan pronto como Sc insta-
laron en- este territorio Sc dedicaron a
matar, con paSmosa rapidez, las rar
tas negras. Posteriormente las ratas
pardas cruzaban ell Atlantico, habiendo
sido descubiertaS en- las cercanias de
winnipeg. Por mucho tempo Sc crey6
generalmente que, en- Inglaterra, las ra
tas negras habian exterminado las
pardas, Sc dijo que las primeras Sc
hs btan refugiado en- la isla del sark y
en La de Tory, al norte de Irlanda, lu-
cares a los cuales las ratas negras
no habian llegado.
Estas creencias cambiaron cuando en-
1910 a1gunas personals en- East Anglia
fueron atacadas de la peste; a este 81
gui6 ell descubrimiento de que en- las
provincias orientales habian muerto, a
consecuencia de Ia peste, numerosas
ratas. De cuantas Sc examinaron en-
East anglia durante aun largo periodic,
aproximadamente un cinco por ciento
estaban infestadas de la peste; saivo

tas pardas, y creemos, que solo en- una
de las negras SO halo la infection. Pu
do tambien comprobarse que estas Ill
timas, en- su lucha por la vida. habian
combatido con mas valor de 10 que mu
chos naturalistas suponfan, hahiendose
salvado de este modo de su destruc-
ci6n completa.
La creencia popular de que la rata
negra lleva consigo los germenes de la
peste proviene de que en- la India casi
todas las ratas son negras. exception
hecha de las que habitan en- los puer-
tos donde Sc hallan algunas pardas. Las
condolences de la poblact6n ratonesca
en- Ia India, son, pues, Ell reverse de
las que Sc observan en- 1nglaterra. Debe
tenerse en- cuenta que la infection de
La peste on Ell hombre no es causada
directamente por las ratas. Los agen-
tes propagadores son ciertas cla-
ses de pElgas que transmiten Ia pes
to de una otra rata; cuando una

infection, las pulgas la abandonan. 81
no hallan Embellishments alguna otra
que les sirva de albergue, v en- la cual
puedan ejercitar su actividad extra
crdinaria, suelen dedicar sus atencio-
mes las personas.
! Serfa aventurado predecir 81 Ia cam
pafia emprendida contra las ratas da-
ra no resultados satisfactorios. Los
cepos y Ell empleo de diversas clases
de venenoS son, cuando mucho, meros
paliativos. Despues de haber marado
en- tres ahos cuatro mil1ones medic
de ratas en- La ciudad de Toxic, puao
apreciarse que estas 1ban en- aumento;
La raz6n de este fen6meno es quo Ia
cant1dad de ratas es stempre superior
La cantidad de alimentos de que dis
ponen, del misrno modo que la poblaci6n
humana es excesiva en- proportion los
alimentos disponibles para cl consume.
Cuando SO ueva cabo una destruction
considerable de ratas las sobrevivien-
tes encuentran mas alimentos ell re-
sultado de esta prosperidad es que sc
multiplican con rapidez increlb!o. Sc
ha calculado que una sola hembra pue
de tener en- un afio mil descendicntss
De 10 expuesto Sc deduce que las ra-
tas no son precisamente pengrosas como
propagadoras de intermediates, sino
mas bien por Ia devastation que pro-
Queen en- los alimentos del hombre;
impedir este ,habran de encaminarse
los esfuerzos de uuienes estan obliga-
