Subtypes of Blastocystis in Tibetan Antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)

Research in Veterinary Science
Blastocystis is a protist that is distributed in the gut tract of humans and animals. However, the reports about Blastocystis infection in Tibetan antelope are scarce. We collected 173 Tibetan antelope feces samples from Xinjiang, Qinghai and Xizang, and amplified the SSU rRNA gene of 600 bp region of Blastocystis in our research.

Overcoming Extinction: Understanding Processes of Recovery of the Tibetan Antelope

Ecosphere, 2015
Since the middle of the 20th century, the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) has been poached for its wool to make luxury shawls, shahtoosh. This direct overexploitation caused a drastic decline in their population, with a loss of more than 90% compared to the baseline population a few decades ago.

Group Size Effects on Foraging and Vigilance in Migratory Tibetan Antelope

Behavioural Processes, 2007
Large group sizes have been hypothesized to decrease predation risk and increase food competition. We investigated group size effects on vigilance and foraging behaviour during the migratory period in female Tibetan antelope Pantholops hodgsoni, in the Kekexili Nature Reserve of Qinghai Province, China.

Observations on the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsoni)

Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 1991
Abstract Tibetan antelope or chiru (Pantholops hodgsoni) favor flat to rolling terrain at 4000–5000 m, an elevation where vegetation is scant and patchy. The species still ranges over ∼800 000 km2 of the Tibetan Plateau, and about half of this area remains devoid of people.

Responses of Tibetan Antelope Population to Environment Changes During the Holocene

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology
Tibetan antelope (Chiru, Pantholops hodgsonii), an endemic species of the Tibet Plateau, inhabits the open alpine and desert steppe areas ranging 3250 to 5500 m altitude. In the past decades, the antelope population has been significantly affected by human activities, including massive illegal hunting, followed by strict protection policies and ...

Evolutionary Analysis of Hypoderma Pantholopsum in Tibetan Antelopes on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau

Acta Parasitologica
Hypoderma pantholopsum is a parasite that parasitizes Tibetan antelopes (Pantholops hodgsonii). This study aims was to reveal the genetic diversity within H. pantholopsum and contribute to the protection of Tibetan antelope.H. pantholopsum was subjected to mitochondrial genome sequencing, annotation, and phylogenetic analysis. PhyloSuite and BEAST were

Georgenia faecalis sp. nov. isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelope

Journal of Microbiology, 2020
Two aerobic, Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating coccoid strains, designated ZLJ0423T and ZLJ0321, were isolated from the faeces of Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii). Their optimal temperature, NaCl concentration and pH for growth were 28°C, 0.5% (w/v) NaCl and pH 7.5, respectively.

Measures to Protect the Tibetan Antelope Under the CITES Framework

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2007
The unique and beautiful Tibetan antelope, or chiru, is in imminent danger of extinction from illegal hunting. At current rates of hunting, the species may be extinct in the wild within two years. The chiru is hunted for its underfur, which is used to make a very fine wool called "shahtoosh." The problem is international: Chiru are hunted in China and ...

Interspecies nuclear transfer of Tibetan antelope using caprine oocyte as recipient

Molecular Reproduction and Development, 2006
AbstractInterspecies nuclear transfer is an invalulable tool for studying nucleus–cytoplasm interactions; and at the same time, it provides a possible alternative to clone endangered animals whose oocytes are difficult to obtain. In the present study, we investigated the possibility of cloning Tibetan antelope embryos using abattoir‐derived caprine ...
