    Abstract Although the exclusion effects of invertebrate decomposers on litter decomposition have been extensively studied in different experimental contexts, a thorough comparison of the exclusion effects of invertebrate decomposers with different body sizes on litter decomposition and its possible regulatory factors in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is still lacking. Here, through a meta-analysis of 1207 pairs of observations from 110 studies in terrestrial ecosystems and 473 pairs of observations from 60 studies in aquatic ecosystems, we found that invertebrate exclusion reduced litter decomposition rates by 36 % globally, 30 % in terrestrial ecosystems, and 44 % in aquatic ecosystems. At the global scale, the exclusion effects of macroinvertebrates and mesoinvertebrates on litter decomposition rates (reduced by 38 % and 36 %, respectively) were greater than those of the combination of macroinvertebrates and mesoinvertebrates (reduced by 30 %). In terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, the effects of invertebrate exclusion on litter decomposition rates were mainly regulated by climate and initial litter quality, but the effects of invertebrate exclusion with different body sizes were regulated differently by climate, initial litter quality, and abiotic environmental variables. These findings will help us better understand the role of invertebrate decomposers in litter decomposition, especially for invertebrate decomposers with different body sizes, and underscore the need to incorporate invertebrate decomposers with different body sizes into dynamic models of litter decomposition to examine the potential effects and regulatory mechanisms of land-water-atmosphere carbon fluxes.

    Abstract Introduction: Echinococcosis can incur substantial economic losses for the livestock industry by causing organ condemnation, delayed growth, and reduced meat and wool output and quality in sheep and cattle, as well as increased surgery costs, hospital care, and decreased productivity in humans. Yet echinococcosis could be prevented and controlled by interventions, such as dog management and deworming, lamb vaccination, slaughter management, and training and public education.
    Methods: Exploiting temporal and spatial variations in the number of intervention measures implemented in 39 counties in Qinghai province of China in 2015-2020, this study assesses the economic impact of echinococcosis interventions using a dynamic difference-in-differences model.
    Results: The results suggest that echinococcosis interventions brought about substantial economic gains measured by per capita net income of rural residents and per capita gross output of animal husbandry. These economic gains are greater in non-pastoral counties (with a gain in per capita net income of rural residents of 3,308 yuan and a gain per capita gross output of animal husbandry of 1,035 yuan) than in pastoral counties (with a gain in per capita net income of rural residents of 1,372 yuan and a gain per capita gross output of animal husbandry of 913 yuan). They are also greater in counties with echinococcosis infection level-2 (with a human infection rate of 0.1-1% or a dog infection rate of 1-5%) than infection level-1 counties (with a human prevalence rate ≥1% or a dog infection rate ≥5%).
    Discussion: Not only will these economic gains encourage livestock farmers to strengthen their echinococcosis prevention and control practices, but they will also inform public policy on zoonotic disease prevention and control in China and other countries alike.

    Abstract Recently, the yak population has exhibited reproductive disorders, which are considered to be associated with Chlamydia abortus (C. abortus) in Qinghai, China. In this study, a total of 9 aborted fetuses (each from a different herd) and 126 vaginal swab samples from the 9 herds were collected and analyzed. C. abortus DNA was detected from all of the 9 aborted fetuses and 30 of the 126 vaginal swab samples (23.81%) from yak cows in the selected herds. Four C. abortus strains were isolated from embryonated egg yolk sacs inoculated with foetal organ suspensions. The isolated C. abortus strains were further identified, which showed identical restriction profiles with the C. abortus reference strain using AluI restriction enzyme in the RFLP test. Moreover, the isolated C. abortus strains and C. abortus-positive vaginal swab samples were genotyped by multiple loci variable number tandem repeat analysis and all belonged to the genotype 2 group. These findings suggested that C. abortus played a substantial role in yak abortion in Qinghai, China.

    Abstract The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in yaks (Bos grunniens) was surveyed in Qinghai Province, northwestern China in May and June 2010. A total of 650 serum samples were collected from six counties and assayed for T. gondii antibodies by an indirect hemagglutination test. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 35.08% (228/650) with the highest rate of 55.34% in Chengduo County. The results of the present survey indicated that infection with T. gondii in cattle is widely spread in China, including yaks in Qinghai Province.

    Abstract The seroprevalence of Toxoplasma gondii infection in Tibetan sheep was surveyed in Qinghai Province, northwestern China, in May and June 2010. In total, 580 serum samples was collected from 6 counties, and antibodies to T. gondii were detected by indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test. Antibodies to T. gondii were found in 29.8% (173/580); regional differences showed the highest prevalences in Nangqian County (39.4%) and Zaduo County (48.7%). The results of the present study indicate that infection with T. gondii in sheep is widely spread in China, including Tibetan sheep in Qinghai Province, and is a potential public health concern.

    Abstract Echinococcus granulosus is the causative agent of cystic echinococcosis with medical and veterinary importance worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the genotype distribution of E. granulosus in animals in Yushu, Qinghai Province, northeastern China. The mitochondrial nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide+hydrogen (NADH) dehydrogenase subunit 1 (nad1) and cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) genes from 30 echinococcosis isolates were analyzed by sequence alignment, generating two unique sequence profiles at both nad1 and cox1 loci. Phylogenetic analysis demonstrated that 28 isolates (93.3%) belonged to the well-known G1-G3 complex (E. granulosus sensu stricto), and 2 (6.7%) were placed in G6-G10 complex (E. canadensis). The present study provides the genetic composition of E. granulosus from animals in Yushu, Qinghai Province, and confirms that, for the first time, the E. granulosus G6-G10 complex (E. canadensis) is not only limited to Xinjiang and might be of greater public health significance than previously believed in China.

    Abstract Avian influenza viruses (AIVs) are globally important contagions. Several domestic mammals can be infected with AIVs and may play important roles in the adaptation and transmission of these viruses in mammals, although the roles of wild mammals in the natural ecology of AIVs are not yet clear. Here, we performed a serological survey of apparently healthy Plateau pikas at Qinghai Lake in China to assess the prevalence of exposure to AIVs. Ninety-two of 293 (31%) of wild Plateau pikas possessed serum antibodies against a lowly pathogenic avian influenza (LPAI) H9N2 virus. Experimental inoculation of Plateau pikas with a LPAI H9N2 virus resulted in productive viral replication in respiratory tissues without prior adaptation. Our findings suggest that Plateau pikas represent a natural mammalian host to H9N2 AIVs and may play a role in the ongoing circulation of H9N2 viruses at Qinghai Lake in China. Surveillance for AIV infection in Plateau pika populations and other mammals that have close contact with the Plateau pikas should be considered.
