Gophers are not known to specifically carry the "red plague," which is not a widely recognized or scientifically defined disease. However, they can carry various parasites and diseases, including tularemia and hantavirus. It's essential to maintain caution around wildlife and practice good hygiene to minimize the risk of zoonotic diseases. Always consult a wildlife health expert for accurate information on specific diseases.

Yes, gophers can carry diseases that may be transmitted to humans, although such instances are relatively rare. They can be hosts for parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites, which may carry zoonotic diseases. Additionally, gophers can harbor pathogens such as tularemia and hantavirus, which can pose health risks if humans come into contact with their droppings or urine. It's important to handle wildlife with care and maintain good hygiene to reduce any potential risk of disease transmission.
