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

Transcriptomic study of testicular hypoxia adaptation in Tibetan sheep

Reproduction in Domestic Animals
AbstractThe Tibetan sheep is a typical hypoxia-tolerant mammal, which lives on the plateau, an altitude of between 2,500 and 5,000 meters above sea level, the study of its hypoxic adaptation mechanism provides reference for exploring the hypoxic adaptation mechanism of other animals.

Rumen Microbiota of Tibetan Sheep (Ovis aries) Adaptation to Extremely Cold Season on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau [PDF]

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is characterized by low temperatures and hypoxia, and this feature is more obvious in the winter. However, it is not clear how Tibetan sheep adapt to extreme cold climates. To address this, we used physiological methods combined
