Cockroaches can spread a range of diseases.

However, unlike mosquitoes , they are not direct vectors of diseases through mechanical transfer and acting as a reservoir.

Transmission occurs indirectly, from consumption or contact with items which have been contaminated by cockroaches, rather than through bites.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) “Cockroaches are not usually the most important cause of a disease, but like houseflies, they play a supplementary role in the spread of some diseases”…

Cockroaches are proven or suspected carriers of the organisms that cause the following infections:

Salmonellosis
Typhoid Fever
Cholera
Gastroenteritis
Dysentery
Leprosy
Plague
Campylobacteriosis
Listeriosis
Giardia
Cockroaches can also trigger asthma and other allergies as well as spread
E.coli , staphylococcus aureus and streptococcus
