- Rodents, particularly Daurian ground squirrels in China, are vital hosts for various zoonotic pathogens, but surveillance on these pathogens is sparse, hindering our understanding of their ecology and risks to humans.* -
- In a study, DNA analysis of 165 spleen samples revealed eight bacterial pathogens, highlighting the genetic diversity of these microbes and the occurrence of co-infection.* -
- Six of the identified pathogens pose a potential risk to human health, especially for local herders in close contact with these squirrels and their parasites.*
Background: Dogs and cats are the hosts of many vector-borne human pathogens that can be transmitted to humans. Given their direct and intimate contact with humans, companion dogs and cats are considered direct sentinels of vector-borne human pathogens. However, limited information is currently available regarding canine and feline zoonotic pathogens in China.
