Human plague associated with Tibetan sheep originates in marmots [PDF]

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2018
The Qinghai-Tibet plateau is a natural plague focus and is the largest such focus in China. In this area, while Marmota himalayana is the primary host, a total of 18 human plague outbreaks associated with Tibetan sheep (78 cases with 47 deaths) have been
