One pika and five rodent species were identified based on the morphological characteristics of 1278 small mammal specimens collected during 2014\u20132019. Detection of Echinococcus DNA in tissue samples from small mammal specimens revealed that Ochotona curzoniae (pika, total prevalence: 6.02%, 26\/432), Neodon fuscus (5.91%, 38\/643), N. leucurus (2.50%, 3\/120), and Alexandromys limnophilus (21.74%, 10\/46) were infected by both E. multilocularis and E. shiquicus; Cricetulus longicaudatus (16.67%, 1\/6) was infected by E. shiquicus; and no infection was detected in N. irene (0\/15). Neodon fuscus and O. curzoniae were the two most abundant small mammal species. There was no significant difference in the prevalence of pika and the overall rodent species assemblage (6.26%, 53\/846); however, the larger rodent populations suggested that more attention should be paid to their role in the transmission of echinococcosis in the wildlife reservoir, which has long been underestimated. Moreover, although DNA barcoding provides a more efficient method than traditional morphological methods for identifying large numbers of small mammal samples, commonly used barcodes failed to distinguish the three Neodon species in this study. The close genetic relationships between these species suggest the need to develop more powerful molecular taxonomic tools.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens13070558","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]],"date-time":"2024-07-03T04:23:43Z","timestamp":1719980623000},"page":"558","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Species Composition of a Small Mammal Community and Prevalence of Echinococcus spp. in the Alpine Pastoral Area of the Eastern Tibetan Plateau"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Jia-Xin","family":"Zheng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Hui","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Wei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chang-Qing","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Dong","family":"Weng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"},{"name":"Institute of Biological Resources, Jiangxi Academy of Sciences, Nanchang 330096, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Qing-Qiu","family":"Zuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"},{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intelligent Tracking and Forecasting for Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Chinese Center for Tropical Diseases Research), Shanghai 200025, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Parasite and Vector Biology, National Health Commission of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Shanghai 200025, China"},{"name":"World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Tropical Diseases, Shanghai 200025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jia-Yu","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zhi-Qiang","family":"Mu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tian-Ci","family":"Mao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"You-Zhong","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Ming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Key Laboratory of Intelligent Tracking and Forecasting for Infectious Diseases, National Institute of Parasitic Diseases, Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Chinese Center for Tropical Diseases Research), Shanghai 200025, China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Parasite and Vector Biology, National Health Commission of the People\u2019s Republic of China, Shanghai 200025, China"},{"name":"World Health Organization Collaborating Center for Tropical Diseases, Shanghai 200025, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3493-136X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zheng-Huan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Life Sciences, East China Normal University, Shanghai 200241, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Wilson, D.E., and Reeder, D.M.
