Humans have a long history of acquiring infections from animals – so-called zoonotic infections – the COVID-19 pandemic is just the most recent example in a long list of zoonoses. But as the human population becomes ever more urbanised, then there is a continuing potential for zoonoses from rodent pests. This talk will look at what causes zoonoses, and will speculate on their risk from commensal rodents.
