This review draws together reported incidences of anti-vitamin K (AVK) resistance in the literature and the underlying mechanisms suspected of conferring resistance for the three main pest rodent species Rattus norvegicus, Rattus rattus and Mus musculus. The purpose of this review is to compare and contrast the underlying resistance mechanisms in these species and demonstrate how this should influence programs for
monitoring and avoiding the development of AVK resistance in target rodent species.
