Historically, rodents-ectoparasites are responsible for many diseases in human and domestic animal communities because they are well-adapted to the environment and nutritional resources. In addition, ectoparasites can affect the reproductive rates, ecological fitness and the dispersal pattern of their hosts. Data was compiled through all publications relating to ectoparasites fauna from Iranian rodents. Host specificity, rodent-parasites interaction, geographical distribution, ecological trends as well as the medical or veterinary importance of ectoparasites are considered in this review. Also, results compared with other equal global findings. According to the obtained information, the genus considered being the major vector of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever. Sistan-Balouchistan, Isfahan, Fars and Khuzestan are endemic provinces of this disease in Iran. Ixodes ticks (especially spp.) commonly existed throughout the months but had high activity in spring and late autumn seasons. Muridae as the most diversified rodent family was more reiterated exploited host by all parasites in this knowledge. confirmed as a positive host for by serological test but the definitive reservoir is still unclear in Iran. as a nocturnal jird has been permanently presented in semi-desert areas except Dasht-e Kavir desert. This rodent was the frequent host for Pulicid fleas followed by and (Cricetidae). was specialized host for (spiny rat louse). from Pulicidae was spread in particularly west of Iran which known as an endemic focus of plague. Mites were high diversity than other taxa. The domestic vertebrates (sheep, goat and cattle) were primitive hosts and rodents were discovered as auxiliary hosts for ticks in Iran apparently. The available data suggested that lice had a type of model of host specificity due to their morphological traits. Meanwhile, Alborz and Zagros mountains ranges provided the specialized habitats for animals which have been surrounded by northern and western regions. Perhaps these mountainous areas can prevent gene flow between local mammalian populations. Notably, the genealogy of parasite genome can orient toward the evolutionary process into speciation point. In general, more researches are needed to decipher the whole sights of host-parasite association and the role of ectoparasites within zoonosis diseases.

“…Different habitats and ecological niches may harbor different taxonomic composition of host species (e.g. [24,28,48]). According to several studies, the level of habitat disturbance may be resulted in increased prevalence of hosts which subsequently may increase the intensity rate of infestation with ectoparasites.…”

Among the major pests affecting the food products, rodents are well known as a source of foodborne diseases. In this review I focused on the role of rodents in transmission of foodborne diseases. They spread diseases, contaminate food, water and products, destroy crops, and also damage food stocks and properties. Almost all reported cases of foodborne diseases are caused by pathogenic bacteria or by the poisons produced by them. Clostridium perfringens, Escherichia coli., Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella enteriditis and S. typhymurium are most frequent pathogenic bacteria transmitted to foods by rodents. Pest rodents entering or infesting food products or establishments, or poorly executed rodent control programs are potential sources of physical, microbiological and chemical hazards. Hence, monitoring pests, good hygiene practices during preparation, storing and serving food products, keep food safe with time and temperature control, and checking the health of food service personnel are recommended to prevent foodborne illness which is a major concern in the food service establishment.
