What is this test?

House Rats comprise two species, Rattus norvegicus, the Brown or Norway Rat, and Rattus Rattus, the Black or Alexandrine Rat. Rat allergens found in dust, urine, epithelium and saliva are a frequent cause of asthma, allergic rhinitis and allergic conjunctivitis, mainly in laboratory workers but also in ordinary individuals. The allergy caused in households and laboratories due to animal namely mouse is known as mouse epithelium. House rats are mainly of two types Rattus norvegicus or brown rat and Rattus Rattus or Black rat. They are most similar in their appearance and habits.
