Author Dr Stephen A Battersby
Date 2004

The total costs due to infrastructure damage are also difficult to estimate. However, a model has been constructed that estimates the cost to the economy of such damage.
Keywords Brown rats (Rattus norvegicus); costs; damage; economics; environmental health; infrastructure; public health.
