mice and disease

[SquashNut]

We have always had mice here. We live between 2 houses that are empty part of the time.
periodcally they hit mass population.
i've been doing some research to find out what diseases that my rabbits can get from them. So far i am either using the wrong search words on the web or there is little to be found.
Any ideas on this would be appreciated.

I can't point to any web sites, but in the past I have also had mice problems in my rabbit hutches. Mice are attracted to the rabbit pellets, so mice population goes down when I am careful not to drop food where mice can feed on it. I feed my rabbit a measured amount of pellets a couple of time a day, so there won't be pellets sitting around in the hutches.

From what I have learned, the biggest problem with mice is the parasites they carry. My rabbits have gotten fleas and tapeworm, which I believe came from the mice. I got rid of the tapeworm by coating their food pellets with Perma-guard, and feeding it to them for over a month. I used poultry dust to get rid of the fleas.

Possibly Tularemia, Listeria, Salmonella, worms, fleas, mites. I'm not 100% sure about all of them though.
