泡型棘球蚴病是由多房棘球绦虫这种寄生性蠕虫引起的感染，是一种与气候和生态因素密切相关的人畜共患病。利用横断面调查数据来检验一个假设，即牧场的部分围栏可能会促进中国青藏高原半游牧牧民社区中泡型棘球蚴病的传播。通过考虑年龄和性别因素进行多元逐步逻辑回归分析，结果表明，冬季牧场定居点周围的部分围栏与被调查村庄中人类患泡型棘球蚴病的风险显著且独立相关（P = 0.021）。潜在原因可能在于过度放牧，这被认为是青藏高原上该寄生虫的小型哺乳动物中间宿主数量暴发的一个原因。由于藏族牧民家庭所获得的集体牧场周围设置了部分围栏，导致定居点附近公共牧场减少，可能加剧了过度放牧的情况。（C）2004爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Alveolar echinococcosis, infection caused by the parasitic helminth Echinococcus multilocularis, is a zoonosis strongly linked to climatic and ecological factors. Cross-sectional survey data were used to test a hypothesis that partial fencing of pastures Could promote alveolar echinococcosis transmission in semi-nomadic pastoral communities of the Tibetan plateau, PR China. Using multiple stepwise logistic regression with consideration of factors of age and gender, it was shown that partial fencing around the settlements in winter pasture was significantly and independently associated with the risk of human alveolar echinococcosis in the surveyed villages (P = 0.021). The underlying reason may lie in overgrazing, an assumed cause Of Population outbreaks of small mammal intermediate hosts of the parasite on the Tibetan plateau. Overgrazing may have been exacerbated by the reduction of communal pastures nearby the settlements due to introduction of partial fencing around group tenure pastures acquired by Tibetan pastoralist families.
