Salmonella bacteria cause a human disease called salmonellosis. Reptiles, including turtles, transmit an estimated 74,000 cases of salmonellosis to people in the United States annually. Amphibians, including frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders, can also transmit salmonellosis.
Humans are the number one carrier of diseases communicable to other humans, BTW. :) Cats and dogs can also get diseases that can spread to humans, just like rodents can. My guess would be because they (mice, rats) are scavangers & mostly live in worst deplorable conditions.
