Article Synopsis
- Scientists studied fleas and their animals in the Junggar Basin to see how they are related to the plague.
- They found that one group had more genetic differences and variations than the other.
- This suggests that the group with more genetic differences may have a lower chance of getting infected with the plague.
Background: The Junggar Basin plague focus was the most recently identified natural plague focus in China. Through extensive field investigations, great gerbils (Rhombomys opimus) have been confirmed as the main host in this focus, and the community structure of their parasitic fleas is associated with the intensity of plague epizootics. The aim of this study is to provide an indicator that can be surveyed to evaluate the risk of plague epizootics.
