The prevalence of rodent-borne zoonotic pathogens in the South Gobi desert region of Mongolia. [PDF]

Infect Ecol Epidemiol, 2023
The alpine ecosystems and communities of central Asia are currently undergoing large-scale ecological and socio-ecological changes likely to affect wildlife-livestock-human disease interactions and zoonosis transmission risk.

Distribution and Host Selection of the Chigger Mite Leptotrombidium rupestre, a Potential Vector of Scrub Typhus, in Southwest China. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Based on field surveys in southwest China between 2001 and 2022, this paper retrospectively reports the distribution and host selection of L. rupestre in the region for the first time. A total of 4675 L. rupestre were identified from 28 species of small mammal hosts in 23 of 114 survey sites and it was mainly distributed in higher latitudes (31–33° N ...

Evolution of the <i>Neopsylla hongyangensis</i> Mitogenome: Insights Into the Mitogenomic Evolution of the Orders Siphonaptera and the Phthiraptera. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
The Neopsylla hongyangensis is an important medical insect that transmits plague. We sequenced the mitogenome of N. hongyangensis and constructed a phylogenetic tree for the order Siphonaptera. In addition, we explored the mitogenomic evolution of the orders Siphonaptera and Phthiraptera, which both belong to the class Insects, on warm‐blooded animals ...

Echinococcus multilocularis and Echinococcus shiquicus in a small mammal community on the eastern Tibetan Plateau: host species composition, molecular prevalence, and epidemiological implications. [PDF]

Parasit Vectors, 2018
Background The eastern part of the Tibetan Plateau is now recognized as an endemic region with the highest reported human infection rates in the world of human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) caused by Echinococcus multilocularis.

Phylogeography of the Tibetan hamster Cricetulus kamensis in response to uplift and environmental change in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. [PDF]

Ecol Evol, 2019
Major genetic differentiations of Cricetulus kamensis occurred in the late Pliocene. Cricetulus kamensis populations were restricted into two major clades due to tectonic movement of QTP and the Last Glacial Maximum. Abstract Aim The evolutionary process of an organism provides valuable data toward an understanding of the Earth evolution history.

Exemplary investigations of squirrels and shrews as relevant virus reservoir hosts [PDF]

, 2020
Rodents and other small mammals, such as shrews, are important reservoirs for numerous zoonotic pathogens. In addition, also various non-zoonotic agents such as polyomaviruses and herpesviruses have been described in these species. The development and

Interactions between landscape changes and host communities can regulate echinococcus multilocularis transmission [PDF]

, 2003
An area close to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau region and subject to intensive deforestation contains a large focus of human alveolar echinococcosis while sporadic human cases occur in the Doubs region of eastern France.

Comparative phylogeography of the plateau zokor (Eospalax baileyi) and its host-associated flea (Neopsylla paranoma) in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Specific host-parasite systems often embody a particular co-distribution phenomenon, in which the parasite’s phylogeographic pattern is dependent on its host.
