A novel hantavirus detected in Yunnan red-backed vole (Eothenomys miletus) in China

Journal of General Virology, 2011
Rodents are the major natural reservoir of hantaviruses, which cause two main human zoonoses, haemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS) in Eurasia and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS) in the Americas.

Variation in Small Mammal Species Composition and the Occurrence of Parasitic Mites in Two Landscapes in a Scrub Typhus Endemic Region of Western Yunnan Province, China. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Yunnan Province, the most serious scrub typhus endemic areas in China, provides abundant ecological resources that sustain parasite and host populations. The distribution of vector‐borne diseases is driven by interactions between hosts, vectors and the environment, revealing critical ecological dynamics.

Molecular Epidemiology and Genetic Diversity of Orientia tsutsugamushi From Patients and Small Mammals in Xiangyun County, Yunnan Province, China. [PDF]

Vet Med Sci
Scrub typhus is caused by Orientia tsutsugamushi (OT). In this study, the detection rates of OT in patients and small mammals were 28.13% (18/64) and 13.98% (13/93), respectively. Nine full‐length 56‐kDa TSA genes were identified, comprising four distinct genotypes: Karp‐like (n = 3), Kato‐like (n = 3), Gilliam (n = 2), and TA763 (n = 1). Recombination

Effects of Exogenous Melatonin on Body Mass Regulation and Hormone Concentrations in Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
By regulating the pineal hormone, photoperiods affect many physiological characteristics in small mammals. Thus, melatonin might take part in the thermoregulation of seasonal variations in small mammals.

Effect of temperature on body temperature and resting metabolic rate in pups of Eothenomys miletus [PDF]

Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry, 2013
In order to investigate the ability of ambient temperature and thermoregulation in Eothenomys miletus, body temperature and resting metabolic rate (RMR) were measured during postnatal development (1-49 day) when E.

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 ...

Metabolomics of Eothenomys miletus from five Hengduan Mountains locations in summer. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2019
AbstractClimatic characteristics of Hengduan Mountains region were diverse, and Eothenomys miletus was a native species throughout this region. To investigate adaptive strategies of E. miletus to environmental factors in different locations in this region, five locations were selected, including Deqin (DQ), Xianggelila (XGLL), Lijiang (LJ), Jianchuan ...
