Abstract

Rodents are known to affect human society globally in various adverse ways (Chap. 1). Since historic times, they have been vectors for a wide range of human and livestock diseases. Almost all agricultural activity worldwide, both past and present, has been subject to attack and fouling by rodents, which may therefore threaten our ability to feed ourselves.
