Rodent-borne pathogens as economic and zoonotic health threat to livestock farming: a review.
Review in One health (Amsterdam, Netherlands), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Economic losses and health risks caused by disease outbreaks in farm animals pose a considerable threat worldwide. Rodents play a crucial role in the transmission of a variety of zoonotic pathogens acting as intermediate, main or reservoir hosts for many bacteria, viruses and parasites. Rodent-borne pathogen transmission can occur through direct or indirect contact, through contaminated food and water or through arthropod vectors. This review provides an overview about the current state of knowledge to demonstrate how rodents are involved in the transmission of the most relevant livestock pathogens. Material and methods: Two literature databases (Web of Science, PubMed) were used to create a list of publications on all relevant pathogen types (bacteria, viruses, parasites, other), the most mentioned rodent species involved in pathogen transmission and the most common livestock types (cattle, swine, poultry) published in English from inception to September 2025. Results: The 494 articles that matched keywords/abstract and focus considered bacteria (n=204) as the main pathogen type, followed by parasites (n=166), viruses (n=92), others (n=15) and rodents on farms (n=17). The most studied pathogens were Conclusion: The role of rodents in transmission pathways of an extremely broad range of pathogens is demonstrated. Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms to decrease economical cost and health issues for commensal and field/forest rodent species alike.
