Abstract The incidence of plague has rebounded in the Americas, Asia, and Africa alongside rapid globalization climate change. Previous studies have shown local to significant nonlinear effects on dynamics among rodent communities. We analyzed an 18-year database plague, spanning 1998 2015, foci Mongolia China trace associations between marmot factors. Our results suggested a density-dependent effect precipitation geographic location-dependent temperature plague. That is, significantly...
The livestock industry in Mongolia accounts for 24% of national revenue, with one third the population maintaining a pastoral lifestyle. This close connection between Mongolian and is major concern pathogen transfer, especially given increase vector-borne diseases globally. study examines blood samples from to assess prevalence tick-borne bacterial infections across three provinces (Dornogovi, Selenge, Töv). Whole 243 (cattle=38, camel=11, goat=85, horse=22, sheep=87) were analyzed 16S...
Abstract The epidemiological profile of rabies virus within Mongolia remains poorly characterized despite 21,302 domestic animal cases being reported between 1970–2005. This lack knowledge is particularly concerning given that roughly 26% the population lives a pastoral herding lifestyle and livestock production contributes up to 18% Mongolia's total gross product (GDP). gaps in disease ecology combined with routine vaccination animals wildlife poses significant threat more than 60 million...
Ticks and tick-borne diseases represent major threats to the public health of Mongolian population, which an estimated 26% live a traditional nomadic pastoralist lifestyle that puts them at increased risk for exposure. were collected by dragging removal from livestock in Khentii, Selenge, Tuv, Umnugovi aimags (provinces) during March-May 2020. Using next-generation sequencing (NGS) with confirmatory PCR DNA sequencing, we sought characterize microbial species present Dermacentor nuttalli (n...
Tick-borne diseases are a major public health concern in Mongolia. Nomadic pastoralists, which make up ~ 26% of Mongolia’s population, at an increased risk both tick bite exposure and economic loss associated with clinical disease herds. This study sought to further characterize tick-borne pathogens present Dermacentor ticks ( n = 1,773) sampled 2019 from 15 21 aimags (provinces). The were morphologically identified sorted into 377 pools then screened using Next-Generation Sequencing paired...
Introduction: In Asia, Borrelia garinii, B. afzelii, and bavariensis are transmitted by Ixodes persulcatus ticks clinically present with a wide range of neurological arthritic symptoms. This report aims to provide details on the geographic distribution suspected cases Lyme borreliosis (LB), reported local Mongolian hospitals between 2007 2017. Methods: examines 150 LB from 13 aimags (provinces) in Mongolia April August 2017, including date location infection, method diagnosis (indirect...
Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) causes neurological disease in humans, with varied clinical severity influenced by the viral subtype. TBEV is endemic to Mongolia, where both Siberian and Far-Eastern subtypes are present.
Rabies is a highly fatal zoonotic disease that causes an estimated 60,000 human deaths each year, many of which occur in Africa and Asia where the likely underreported. Uncontrolled transmission rabies presents major threat to public health countries such as Mongolia, 26% population lives pastoralist lifestyle characterized by increased interaction with livestock animals. Here, we report case exposure six-year-old male after being bitten horse both head region leg. At suspicion rabies,...
