The complex genomic diversity of Yersinia pestis on the long‐term plague foci in Qinghai–Tibet plateau [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2023., 2023 We conducted genomic population and phylogenetic analyses of the Yersinia pestis collected from 12 natural plague foci in China with more than 20 kinds of hosts and vectors. The evolutionary history and correlation between the genetic groups and plague foci of this study provide new insights into the control of plague outbreaks and epidemics, deepened ...

Molecular detection of Bartonella species in wild small mammals in western Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Front Vet Sci, 2023 BackgroundSmall mammals serve as the main reservoir for Bartonella and as a proxy indicator of the potential risk of Bartonella transmission from nature to humans. They offer a valuable early warning for human infection.

Orientia tsutsugamushi Infection in Wild Small Mammals in Western Yunnan Province, China [PDF]
Pathogens, 2023 Small mammals can transmit and serve as a reservoir for Orientia tsutsugamushi (Ot) in nature by carrying infected mites. In Yunnan, one of China’s main foci of scrub typhus, etiological evidence and genetic diversity for Ot is limited.

Characteristics comparative of gut microbiota in four small mammal species co-occurring in the Hengduan Mountains: differences in environmental adaptation strategies between alien and endemic species [PDF]
BMC MicrobiologyThe composition of gut microbiota is jointly determined by the host’s food habit, ecological niche, and genetic background, serving as a direct reflection of the host’s adaptation to its environment and evolutionary pressures. To investigate the distinct

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]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 10, October 2025.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.
