Details: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence said rat-bite fever has a viral nature and is transmitted to humans from rodents through direct contact with the causative agent as a result of inhaling dust from mouse excrement or getting it into food.
Quote: "Symptoms of rat-bite fever include a severe headache, a rise in body temperature up to 40 degrees, rashes and redness, a decrease in blood pressure, haemorrhages in the eyes, nausea and vomiting several times a day.
A person infected with rat-bite fever experiences intense pain in the lower back and has severe difficulty urinating as the disease affects the kidneys."
Details: Ukraine's Defence Intelligence noted that the Russian command ignored complaints about fever from its personnel, considering them as another manifestation of evasion from participation in combat operations.
"As a result, rat-bite fever significantly reduced the fighting ability of the Russian rats,'" the intelligence concluded.
