摘要: Rodents are recognized reservoir hosts for many human zoonotic pathogens. The current trends resulting from anthropocene defaunation suggest that in the future they, along with other small mammals, likely to become dominant mammals almost all human-modified environments. Recent intricate studies on bat-borne emerging diseases have highlighted gaps exist our understanding of transmission rodent-borne This has emphasized need scientists interested integrate rodent ecology into their analysis pathogen order identify more detail mechanisms spillover and chains transmission. Further required better understand true impact abundance importance sharing circulation multi-host- multi-pathogen communities. We also explore depth roles generalist abundant species as potential links between pathogen-sharing, co-infections disease
