A new and dangerous breed of mutant mice, resistant to the existing strongest poisons, has appeared in Europe. It is the offspring of the common European and Algerian desert mouse. Previously, only sterile individuals were born in such couples. However, the situation has now changed
"We have an amazing case of evolution, when the existing biological boundaries collapsed within the rodent squad, and distant relatives from Europe and North Africa appeared capable of breeding offspring," Professor of the American Rice University / Texas / Michael said in an interview with the BBC Broadcasting Company. Con. Due to a genetic mutation, this offspring has the ability to withstand most of the existing poisons used at home. Specialists fear that the result of the emergence of a new breed will be the loss of the sanitary services' ability to control the situation and curb the growth of rodent numbers, primarily in the largest European cities. Thus, according to the BBC, the danger of the spread of dangerous diseases among the population is multiplying. It is even possible that the plague may appear on a scale comparable to the epidemic of the "black death" in the Middle Ages, when, according to various estimates, from 30 to 60 percent of the inhabitants of Europe were extinct. Scientists report that a rapid increase in the number of mutant mice is now noted in Spain and Germany. Scientists are especially concerned about the danger of such mutants among rats. “There are 64 rat species in Southeast Asia that now share habitats in large metropolitan areas,” Kohn said. “Recently, we have seen an influx of rats from South Africa into this region. They get in the holds of ships and aircraft cargo bays. As a result, there is a danger of the emergence of new genetic mutants with increased protection against poisons. "From 30 to 60 percent of the inhabitants of then Europe. Scientists report that a rapid increase in the number of mutant mice is now noted in Spain and Germany.
