Background: Rat is a rodent that can disrupt the lives and welfare of human
beings. In the health sector, rats have an important role in the transmission of
zoonotic diseases, because they contain ectoparasites. The purpose of this study
was to determine the density of rats (trap success) and the types of ectoparasites in
rats that were captured in the Jomblang Village, Candisari Subdistrict, Semarang.
Method: This research was a descriptive study using survey method with cross
sectional approach. Sample collection was done by placing single live trap in 50
houses, which every house got 2 single live traps.
Results: The results showed that the number of rats that captured as 48 (trap
success = 16 %), but only 43 has been successfully identified. Species of rat
trapped consisted of Rattus tanezumi (48.84%), Rattus norvegicus (25.58%),
Rattus norvegicus javanus (9.30%), Rattus exulans (2.33%), Bandicota indica
(2.33%), Mus musculus (2.33%) and Suncus murinus (9.30%). Infested fleas were
found on 30.23% rats, mostly on Rattus tanezumi (38.09%). All 16 fleas found in
rats were Xenopsylla cheopis. The general flea index was < 2. Infested mites
found on 44.19% rats, mostly on Rattus tanezumi (47.62%). From total 86 mites
found in rats, there were two species of mites, Laelaps nutalli (83.72%) and
