An American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana), also known as the "Bombay canary," sits on top of a mirror at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 14, 2026. Measuring 35 mm to 50 mm, the pest prefers warm, humid environments and acts as a mechanical vector that spreads pathogens without direct injection. It can carry bacteria like Salmonella, E. coli, and pathogens causing typhoid and cholera, along with intestinal parasites and viruses linked to polio and hepatitis.
