Abstract
Zoonotic diseases are not only significant risks to humans, but also seriously affect global biodiversity conservation. The eastern Tibetan plateau has the highest echinococcosis prevalence in the world. The complex and stable echinococcosis transmission networks is based on several wild and domestic animal species. In this study, we summarized the epidemiological research advances of echinococcosis in the rural area of the Tibetan plateau. We also discussed the ecological factors and their functional mechanisms for the transmission of echinococcosis including host species community composition and dynamics, host species behaviour ecology, and human disturbance. Based on these discussions, we put forward suggestions for a better integrative strategy for echinococcosis control and the sustainable development of the plateau ecosystem.
