Parasitological and serological studies on the prevalence of Echinococcus multilocularis Leuckart, 1863 in red foxes (Vulpes vulpes Linnaeus, 1758) in Switzerland.

In the Canton of Zurich in Switzerland, 1,252 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) were examined during 1990-1991 for intestinal stages of Echinococcus multilocularis using the mucosal smear technique. Special safety precautions were employed during examination. An average of 35% (432 foxes) were infected, mostly with low to medium numbers of gravid worms producing thick-shelled eggs. In the eleven distri...

Co-occurrence of metacestodes of Echinococcus multilocularis and Taenia taeniaeformis (Cestoda) in Arvicola terrestris (Rodentia) in France.

In western Europe, the natural life cycle of Echinococcus multilocularis (Leuckart, 1863) involves mostly foxes, dogs and cats as definitive hosts and voles (Arvicolidae) as intermediate hosts. Studies on this topic are often restricted to data on prevalence of this tapeworm. However, until now, an association of E. multilocularis with larvae of another cestode species has only been reported fr...

Taxonomic characters in the genus Echinococcus (Cestoda: Taeniidae).

Not more than 4 species of cestodes of the genus Echinococcus Rudolphi, 1801, are recognised as valid. The larval stage of at least 3 of them is able to develop in man, causing respective types of hydatid disease. Accurate characterization of these cestodes, including both larval and adult stages, is essential for identification, upon which depends development of methods for preventing infectio...
