Rodents were trapped from May to September 2016 in rural households in the communities Xkalakdzonot (XKA) and Paraíso (PAR). A total of 236 M. musculus and 127 R. rattus were trapped over 3880 trap-nights. In XKA, R. rattus was more abundant than M. musculus, whereas in PAR, M. musculus was notably dominant over R. rattus. The sex ratio was 1:1 in both rodent species. Rattus rattus in classes 40.1–80 g and 120–139 mm were more abundant, whereas M. musculus in classes 8.1–12 g and 70–79 mm were more abundant. Mus musculus had similar weight, body length and reproductive and health parameters between communities.
