rumen ciliated protozoan fauna of the yak (bos grunniens) in china with the description of entodinium monuo n. sp.	rumen ciliate species composition was surveyed in domestic yaks kept in tibet, sichuan, and inner mongolia, china. twelve genera including 36 species with 18 formae were identified. the species compositions were slightly different among the three areas: yaks in tibet had the simplest fauna, in contrast, the fauna of yaks in inner mongolia were the most abundant and similar to those found in the cattle kept in the same area. this suggests that the rumen ciliate composition of yaks is affected by ...	2000	10750847
[study on cornu bos grunniens from tibet substituting cornu rhinoceri].	comparing the pyretolysis effect of cornu rhinoceri soup, an ancient prescription of traditional chinese medicine, on fever model of rabbits after cornu bos grunniens from tibet substituting cornu rhinoceri, in order to find the succedaneums of cornu rhinoceri, a rare animal medicine.	2008	18998561
seroprevalence of brucella infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibet plateau of china.	the seroprevalence of brucella infection in yaks was surveyed on the qinghai-tibet plateau of china in 2010. a total of 621 serum samples was collected from six counties and were tested by serum agglutination test. the results showed that 56 (9%) of the samples were positive for brucella. the results of the present investigation indicate that brucellosis is common in yaks on the qinghai-tibet plateau of china.	2010	21082247
seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china.	the seroprevalence of bovine viral diarrhea virus (bvdv) infection in yaks was investigated in qinghai and tibet of china during the year 2011. a total of 549 (tibet 287, qinghai 262) serum samples was collected from tibet and qinghai and were examined for bvdv p80 antibody by elisa. the results of the experiment showed that 145 (53.65 %) of tibetan samples and 189 (72.14 %) of qinghai's samples were positive for bvdv. the observations of the present study suggest that bovine viral diarrhea is c ...	2013	23111636
seroprevalence of bovine tuberculosis infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china.	bovine tuberculosis (btb), a chronic disease caused by mycobacterium bovis, has been widely reported in bovines in developing countries, but there is little information on this infection in domestic yaks. seroprevalence of antibodies to m. bovis in yaks from six and three regions of tibet and qinghai plateau, china, respectively, was investigated in 2011 by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. a total of 1,244 (tibet 938, qinghai 306) blood samples was collected and the results showed that 24 ...	2013	23338819
seroprevalence of toxoplasma gondii infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china.	toxoplasma gondii (t. gondii), a zoonotic parasite infects almost all warm-blooded animals and causes significant economic losses. to date, however, it is still unclear whether yaks from the qinghai-tibetan plateau of china are exposed to t. gondii. on the present study, a survey was conducted for the first time, to investigate the seroprevalence of t. gondii infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau (qinghai, tibet, hongyuan area of sichuan province). a total of 905 and 7 ...	2014	25085769
prevalence of sulfonamide and florfenicol resistance genes in escherichia coli isolated from yaks (bos grunniens) and herdsmen in the tibetan pasture.	to determine the antimicrobial susceptibility profiles and prevalence of resistance genes in escherichia coli isolated from yaks (bos grunniens) and herdsmen in nine plateau pastures in tibet, we isolated 184 nonidentical strains of e. coli from yaks and herdsmen. antimicrobial susceptibility testing of 15 antimicrobials was conducted and the prevalence of sulfonamide resistance genes (sul1, sul2, and sul3) and florfenicol resistance genes (flor, cfr, cmla, fexa, pexa, and estdl136) was determin ...	2015	25973625
seroprevalence of bluetongue virus in domestic yaks (bos grunniens) in tibetan regions of china based on circulating antibodies.	the bluetongue (bt) is an infectious, non-contagious disease of ruminants with a substantial impact on income and welfare of animals. to date, scarce information about this disease in domestic yaks is available in tibetan area of china. seroprevalence of circulating antibodies to bluetongue virus (btv) in yaks from three regions of tibet and hongyuan area of sichuan province in china was investigated by a commercial competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits. a total of 736 blood samples ...	2015	26017752
prevalence of circulating antibodies to bovine herpesvirus 1 in yaks (bos grunniens) on the qinghai-tibetan plateau, china.	bovine herpesvirus 1 (bohv-1) causes infections with many clinical signs, including rhinotracheitis, encephalitis, and genital lesions. the virus occurs worldwide in bovines, and in recent years, it has been reported in yaks (bos grunniens) inhabiting the tibetan plateau in china. however, there is little epidemiologic data describing bohv-1 infections in china's yak herds. we conducted a cross-sectional study on the qinghai-tibetan plateau (qtp) in china july 2011-july 2012 to estimate the prev ...	2016	26555106
seroprevalence investigation of bovine ephemeral fever in yaks in tibetan plateau of china from 2012 to 2015.	bovine ephemeral fever (bef) is caused by the arthropod-borne bovine ephemeral fever virus (befv), which is classified in family rhabdoviridae and genus ephemerovirus. however, it is still unclear whether yaks from the tibetan plateau of china are exposed to befv. it is the first time that a survey was conducted to investigate the seroprevalence of befv infection in yaks (bos grunniens) on the tibetan plateau of china. a total of 1123 serum samples were collected randomly from yaks from 2012 to ...	2017	27722831
seroprevalence and risk factors for bovine brucellosis in domestic yaks (bos grunniens) in tibet, china.	a cross-sectional study was conducted in three counties (damxung, maizhokunggar and yadong) in tibet in april and may 2015. a total of 1,523 yaks owned by 181 herders were randomly selected and blood sampled. sera were tested using the rose bengal test (rbt) and a competitive immune-enzymatic assay (c-elisa) and the test results interpreted in parallel. the individual yak prevalence was 2.8% (95% ci 2.0-3.7) with a herd prevalence of 18.2% (95% ci 12.9-24.6). at the individual level, two predict ...	2017	28624927
