Abstract: (Purpose) In order to understand the current situation of research on the carrying and transmission of microorganisms by birds worldwide. (Method) Bibliometric analysis software such as CiteSpace is used to analyze the research literatures on the transmission of microorganisms by birds from Web of Science and CNKI databases published since 1990. (Result) The research on the transmission of microorganisms by birds began in the 1990s and in recent years the research intensity has gradually increased. In terms of research content, both Chinese and English literatures focus on exploring the transmission of pathogenic microorganisms by birds, and the studies of pathogenic microorganisms basically focus on the viruses, which belongs to the category of public health. (Conclusion) With the increasingly serious problem of microbial resistance, it is necessary to strengthen the monitoring of resistant strains carried by birds. In the aspect of microbial ecology, the influence of bird migration on microbial diversity pattern has not been paid attention, therefore carrying out research in this area can help human beings to have a more comprehensive understanding of the mechanism of formation and maintenance of the spatial pattern of microbial diversity.
