摘要
Using the parasitological washing out method, we examined the intestines of 428 red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) for the presence of Echinococcus multilocularis (Leuckart 1863) and found that the overall prevalence was 2.6% (confidence interval 95% 1.3-4.5%). This is the first extended research reporting on the presence of E. multilocularis in the Slovenian fox population.
