on 21 January, an international research team recently revealed the viromes of more than 3000 rodents in Southeast Asia. This vast work on as-yet unknown viruses fits into the objectives set by IPBES in its 2020 report on pandemics. The wide range of viruses discovered is cause for concern, in
view of the current trend towards farming wild animal species in Southeast Asia.
Chapare haemorrhagic fever, which killed at least three people in Bolivia in late 2020, originated in rodents. These mammals, which carry numerous zoonotic diseases, are coming under increasing scrutiny from emerging disease specialists.
