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.
