The authors explore the challenges of addressing “wicked problems,” such as emerging zoonotic diseases, and the potential of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research (ITDR) to tackle them. Using a case study on rodent-borne diseases (RBDs) in Europe, they examine the factors influencing ITDR’s success. The article highlights the limited adoption of ITDR in RBD research and discusses its role in addressing global crises.
