Yak is an important animal for the Tibetans at Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau of China. The burden of parasitic diseases has been a major threat to the health of yaks at this region presenting a considerable socio-economic losses and impact to yak production and local nomads. Keeping in view, we collected the published papers from 1984 to 2017 on major parasitic infections in yaks by electronic literature search from five databases including CNKI, Google, PubMed, Science Direct and Web of Science. The prevalence of Eimeria, Babesia, Theileria, Hypodermosis, Cystic echinococcosis, Alveolar echinococcosis, Toxoplasma gondii, Neospora caninum, Cryptosporidium, Giardia duodenalis, Enterocytozoon bieneusi, Toxocara vitulorum, and Fascioliasis infection in yaks was found to be 48.02%, 13.06%, 36.11%, 59.85%, 16.93%, 0.99%, 20.50%, 5.14%, 10.00%, 3.68%, 4.07%, 22.23% and 28.7% respectively. Data presented are contemplated to enhance our current understanding on the major parasitic diseases of yaks at Qinghai Tibetan plateau, China. The main aim of this effort is to ameliorate the effects of the parasitic burden in this specie; so that, the attempts are made to minimize the incidence of these infections in future to raise the socio-economic levels of local community.
牦牛是中国青藏高原地区藏族人的重要牲畜。寄生虫病的负担一直是该地区牦牛健康的主要威胁，给牦牛生产和当地牧民带来了相当大的社会经济损失和影响。鉴于此，我们通过电子文献检索，从中国知网、谷歌、PubMed、Science Direct和Web of Science这五个数据库中收集了1984年至2017年关于牦牛主要寄生虫感染的已发表论文。结果发现，牦牛感染艾美耳球虫、巴贝斯虫、泰勒虫、皮蝇蛆病、囊型棘球蚴病、泡型棘球蚴病、弓形虫、犬新孢子虫、隐孢子虫、十二指肠贾第虫、微小隐孢子虫、犊牛弓首蛔虫和片形吸虫病的感染率分别为48.02%、13.06%、36.11%、59.85%、16.93%、0.99%、20.50%、5.14%、10.00%、3.68%、4.07%、22.23%和28.7%。所呈现的数据旨在增进我们目前对中国青藏高原地区牦牛主要寄生虫病的了解。这项工作的主要目的是减轻这种寄生虫负担对该物种的影响；因此，人们努力尽量减少这些感染的发生率，以提高当地社区的社会经济水平。
