Abstract:
Rodents in China encompass diverse species with wide distributions,and carry an array of pathogens,thus posing substantial risks to human health and safety.In this paper,the literatures related to rodent—carrying pathogens in China were screened and analyzed from databases such as CNKI,Wanfang Database,Google Scholar,and Pubmed.An analysis of surveil-lance data for bacterial pathogens borne by these rodents revealed the presence of 19 distinct pathogens,including Yersinia pes-tis,Bartonella,and Borrelia burgdorferi,across 30 provinces,autonomous regions,and municipalities.Notably,positive tests for 15 of these bacterial pathogens were observed in Yunnan Province,whereas Bartonella was detected in 28 provinces.The survey encompassed a total of 107 rodent species,84 of which were classified as Rodentia,representing 78.50％of the to-tal.Among these,82 species were found to be carriers of Bartonella.This comprehensive analysis and synthesis of surveillance data on rodent-borne bacterial pathogens provided not only insights into pathogen prevalence and distribution across regions,but also a valuable resource for the development of early warning systems and strategies for the prevention and control of disea-ses transmitted by rodents.
