infection of rodents by orientia tsutsugamushi, the agent of scrub typhus in relation to land use in thailand.	the relationship between land use structures and occurrence of scrub typhus agent, orientia tsutsugamushi infection in small wild mammals was conducted in three provinces of thailand: buriram, loei, and nan. orientia tsutsugamushi detection was performed using 16s ribosomal dna (rdna) amplicon sequencing approach using miseq illumina platform. in total, 387 animals (rodents and shrews) were examined for the bacterium infection. the 16s rdna sequences of the bacterium were found in nine animals f ...	2017	30270910
identification of cryptosporidium viatorum xva subtype family in two wild rat species in china.	cryptosporidium viatorum is a minor cryptosporidium pathogen in humans. currently, there is limited information regarding the prevalence and genotypes of c. viatorum in animals in china.	2019	31661007
molecular detection and genotyping of toxoplasma gondii in edward's long-tailed rats (leopoldamys edwardsi).	toxoplasma gondii is an important zoonotic parasite infecting humans and various animals with a worldwide distribution. however, limited information is available on t. gondii infection in wild rats. the present study aimed to examine the prevalence and characterize the genotypes of t. gondii in wild rats in two regions of china. brain tissues were collected from 111 edward's long-tailed rats (leopoldamys edwardsi) and 117 bower's white-toothed rats (berylmys bowersi) between november 2017 and ja ...	2019	31259631
novel genotypes and multilocus genotypes of enterocytozoon bieneusi in two wild rat species in china: potential for zoonotic transmission.	enterocytozoon bieneusi is an opportunistic pathogen in immunodeficient patients. although this pathogen has been reported in many domestic animals, few data are available about the occurrence of e. bieneusi in wild rats. in the current study, a total of 228 fecal samples from two wild rat species (leopoldamys edwardsi and berylmys bowersi) in china were examined by a nested pcr-based sequencing approach employing the internal transcribed spacer (its) region of nuclear ribosomal dna. the overall ...	2020	31811423
