Tacheng Tick Virus 1 and Songling Virus Infection in Great Gerbils (Rhombomys opimus) in Northwestern China [PDF]

Journal of Wildlife Diseases, 2023
Tacheng tick virus 1 (TcTV-1) and Songling virus (SGLV) were originally found in human patients in China who had had tick bites. Tamdy virus (TAMV) was detected for the first time in a tick-infested person from Kyrgyzstan in 1973. In this study, 276 great gerbils (Rhombomys opimus) were collected in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in northwestern ...

The great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus) as a host for tick species in Gurbantunggut desert [PDF]

, 2023
Abstract Background Rodents play an important role in the life cycle of ixodid and argasid ticks, particularly as hosts of larvae and nymphs. The great gerbil (Rhombomys opimus), the preferred prey item of several carnivores (e.g., the red fox and the marbled polecat), is the dominant rodent species in the Gurbantunggut Desert, in northwestern
