veterinary aspects of alveolar echinococcosis--a zoonosis of public health significance.	human alveolar echinococcosis (ae), caused by the metacestode stage of echinococcus multilocularis, is a serious zoonosis which caused up to 100% lethality in untreated patients before the 1970s, when modern methods of treatment were not yet established. ae occurs in large areas of the northern hemisphere mostly with low country-wide prevalences, but high prevalences of up to 4% have been reported from small population groups in highly endemic foci, e.g. from china. ae includes many veterinary a ...	2001	11516580
spatial and temporal aspects of urban transmission of echinococcus multilocularis.	high prevalences of echinococcus multilocularis have been reported from foxes of the city of zurich, switzerland. in order to characterize transmission in urban areas, a coproantigen elisa was evaluated for diagnosing the infection in fox faecal samples collected in the environment. in addition, trapped rodents were investigated for the presence of metacestodes. faecal samples could reliably be classified as being of fox origin by assessing physical properties as shown by the different parasite ...	2002	12118719
