Antiviral resistance in animals. It's not a topic that gets a lot of attention and concerns are pretty niche overall, since antiviral use is limited.

Rats carrying disease often evokes images of the plague, but it's important to have all the facts before worrying. We don't know yet if rat-to-rat transmission or transmission from rats to other species can/is occurring effectively. It's important to stay vigilant, but don't panic.
