Bartonella Species Detected in the Plateau Pikas (Ochotona curzoiae) from Qinghai Plateau in China.

Biomedical and environmental sciences : BES, 2016
Bartonella species can infect a variety of mammalian hosts and cause a broad spectrum of diseases in humans, but there have been no reports of Bartonella infection in Ochotonidae. This is the first study to detect Bartonella in plateau pikas in the Qinghai plateau, providing baseline data for the risk assessment of human Bartonella infection in this ...

Plateau pikas burrowing activity accelerates ecosystem carbon emission from alpine grassland on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau

Ecological Engineering, 2015
Abstract Pikas ( Ochotona curzoniae ) are common on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP). However, little is known about the effect of their burrowing activity on carbon emissions from alpine grassland ecosystems. In this study, we investigated soil organic carbon (SOC), total nitrogen (TN) density and ecosystem CO 2 flux from the original vegetation ...

A non-destructive method for three-dimensional characterizing plateau pika's burrow system

Journal of Environmental Management
The plateau pika's burrow system exerts a significant influence on the alpine ecosystem. However, current methods are insufficient for accurately characterizing its spatial structure. In this study, we utilized drone imagery and ground-penetrating radar (GPR) scanning in alpine grasslands on the eastern edge of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP).

[Hypoxic adaptation of the hearts of plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzoniae)].

Sheng li xue bao : [Acta physiologica Sinica], 2015
Plateau zokor (Myospalax baileyi) and plateau pika (Ochotona curzniae) are native to the Qinghai-Tibet plateau. To study their adaptive mechanisms, the ratios of heart weight to body weight (HW/BW) and right to left ventricular plus septum weights [RV/(LV+S)] were determined; the microvessel density (MVD) of cardiac muscle were measured by ...
