B. Bilger et al., FURTHER-STUDIES OF ECHINOCOCCUS-MULTILOCU LARIS INFECTION OF THE RED FOX IN THE DISTRICT OF TUBINGEN, Tierarztliche Umschau, 50(7), 1995, pp. 465-470
During the period March 1993 to March 1994, 679 red foxes from the dis
trict of Tubingen were examined for infection with Echinococcus multil
ocularis; 44.8% were found to be infected. Compared with previous stud
ies in the region the results indicate a marked increase in the preval
ence. The reasons for this are discussed.
