serological survey of toxoplasma gondii in tibetan mastiffs (canis lupus familiaris) and yaks (bos grunniens) in qinghai, china.	toxoplasma gondii is an amphixenosis which has extensive hosts. in recent years, the prevalence of t. gondii in china has been reported, while little is known on the survey of t. gondii infection in northwest china, especially in yaks (bos grunniens) and tibetan mastiffs (canis lupus familiaris). the current study survey the infection of t. gondii in tibetan mastiffs and yaks in qinghai province, china.	2012	22330277
canis lupus familiaris involved in the transmission of pathogenic yersinia spp. in china.	to investigate canines carrying pathogens associated with human illness, we studied their roles in transmitting and maintaining pathogenic yersinia spp. we examined different ecological landscapes in china for the distribution of pathogenic yersinia spp. in canis lupus familiaris, the domestic dog. the highest number of pathogenic yersinia enterocolitica was shown from the tonsils (6.30%), followed by rectal swabs (3.63%) and feces (1.23%). strains isolated from plague free areas for c. lupus fa ...	2014	24861841
hypoxia adaptations in the grey wolf (canis lupus chanco) from qinghai-tibet plateau.	the tibetan grey wolf (canis lupus chanco) occupies habitats on the qinghai-tibet plateau, a high altitude (>3000 m) environment where low oxygen tension exerts unique selection pressure on individuals to adapt to hypoxic conditions. to identify genes involved in hypoxia adaptation, we generated complete genome sequences of nine chinese wolves from high and low altitude populations at an average coverage of 25× coverage. we found that, beginning about 55,000 years ago, the highland tibetan grey ...	2014	25078401
the complete mitochondrial genome of hequ tibetan mastiff canis lupus familiaris (carnivora: canidae).	the hequ tibetan mastiff canis lupus familiaris (carnivora: canidae) is a primitive breed of large dogs native to the northeastern qinghai-tibetan plateau of china. in this study, its complete mitochondrial genome sequence has been assembled and characterized using high-throughput illumina sequencing technology. the circular genome is 16 730 bp in length, and possesses all genomic components as typically found in most other metazoan mitogenomes. the gene arrangement is identical to those of most ...	2016	26709544
