The plateau pika has multiple benefits for alpine grassland ecosystem in Qinghai–Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Ecosystem Health and Sustainability, 2020 The plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae) has been engaged in pest control for many years based on the logic that the plateau pika is responsible for alpine grassland degradation and competes with livestock for forage resources.

Dual detection and novel genotypes of Giardia and Leishmania in Ochotona curzoniae from Zoige County, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceIntroductionGiardia and Leishmania are important zoonotic parasites, yet their transmission dynamics in wildlife hosts on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau remain unclear. As a keystone species on the Plateau, Ochotona curzoniaes overlap spatially with livestock
