Theileria, Hepatozoon and Taenia infection in great gerbils (Rhombomys opimus) in northwestern China
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2021 The great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus), widely distributed in Asia, is a natural reservoir for Yersinia pestis, Leishmania donovani and some species of helminths.

GENETIC COMPONENT OF GREAT GERBIL’S SUSCEPTIBILITY TO PLAGUE INFECTION
Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2018 The susceptibility of the great gerbil to the causative agent of plague is genetically determined. However, there is not enough information on the involved genes and their effect on this feature in the literature. Although the sensitivity of gerbils to

Environmental Limitations and Interspecific Interactions Across the Distribution Range of Gerbils [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionTo elucidate the environmental adaptability and interspecific relationships of gerbil species, we analyzed the distribution data of seven species using the Maximum Entropy model (MaxEnt) and Joint Species Distribution Models (JSDMs) in relation to ...

Dynamics of Yersinia pestis and its antibody response in great gerbils (Rhombomys opimus) by subcutaneous infection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 BACKGROUND: Rhombomys opimus (great gerbil) is a reservoir of Yersinia pestis in the natural plague foci of Central Asia. Great gerbils are highly resistant to Y. pestis infection. The coevolution of great gerbils and Y.

Effects of gerbil disturbance on the ecological stoichiometric characteristics and nutrient uptake and utilization of H. ammodendron [PDF]
PeerJRodent activity is an important factor that affects the growth and development of Haloxylon ammodendron. Studying the effect of rodent disturbance on plant ecological stoichiometric ratios helps evaluate the mechanism by which rodent disturbance affects ...

GENETIC DRIFT AND GENE FLOW IN POPULATIONS OF THE GREAT GERBILS
Acta Biomedica Scientifica, 2018 The article describes the additional evolutionary factors, apart from natural selection, which can influence the genetic structure of the populations of the main carriers of the plague microbe – the great gerbil.

Genetic diversity and structure of the Great Gerbil,Rhombomys opimus, in Iran (Mammalia: Rodentia)
Zoology in the Middle East, 2020 The Great Gerbil, Rhombomys opimus, is widely distributed in degraded and fragmented desert and semi-desert habitats of the Iranian Plateau. Recent habitat fragmentation from overgrazing by livestock and a government-sponsored rodent control programme ...

Local persistence and extinction of plague in a metapopulation of great gerbil burrows, Kazakhstan
Epidemics, 2012 Speculation on how the bacterium Yersinia pestis re-emerges after years of absence in the Prebalkhash region in Kazakhstan has been ongoing for half a century, but the mechanism is still unclear. One of the theories is that plague persists in its reservoir host (the great gerbil) in so-called hotspots, i.e.
