Koller B, Hegglin D, Schnyder M
Parasitol Res . 2019 May; 118(7):2235-2245. PMID: 31079253
In view of the role of foxes as a reservoir for Angiostrongylus vasorum, a nematode of the heart and lungs of dogs and foxes, its occurrence across Switzerland was investigated...

Beerli O, Guerra D, Baltrunaite L, Deplazes P, Hegglin D
Front Vet Sci . 2018 Jan; 4:216. PMID: 29326950
A broad range of rodent species are described as potential intermediate hosts for , a wide-spread zoonotic cestode causing alveolar echinococcosis. However, little is known about the relative contribution of...

Parasit Vectors . 2017 Jan; 10(1):21. PMID: 28077161
Background: In Europe, the red fox (Vulpes vulpes) is the main definitive host of Echinococcus multilocularis, the aetiological agent of a severe disease in humans called alveolar echinococcosis. The distribution...

Trends Parasitol . 2015 Jan; 31(5):167-73. PMID: 25599832
The life cycle of the zoonotic cestode Echinococcus multilocularis depends on canids (mainly red foxes) as definitive hosts and on their specific predation on rodent species (intermediate hosts). Host densities...

PLoS Negl Trop Dis . 2014 Mar; 8(3):e2731. PMID: 24651596
Characterizing the force of infection (FOI) is an essential part of planning cost effective control strategies for zoonotic diseases. Echinococcus multilocularis is the causative agent of alveolar echinococcosis in humans,...
