genetic analysis of echinococcus multilocularis originating from a patient with alveolar echinococcosis occurring in minnesota in 1977.	to date, only a single proven case of autochthonous human alveolar echinococcosis has been recorded in minnesota in 1977. at that time, echinococcal lesions removed from the patient were experimentally inoculated into voles, and the parasite materials obtained from the voles were preserved as histopathologic specimens for 30 years. in this study, retrospective genetic analysis of larval echinococcus multilocularis originating in the human case was performed using the histopathologic specimens. d ...	2008	18689631
failure to identify alveolar echinococcosis in trappers from south dakota in spite of high prevalence of echinococcus multilocularis in wild canids.	echinococcus multilocularis causes a rare but potentially lethal zoonotic disease in humans. this tapeworm has been known to be endemic in foxes (vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (canis latrans) within the northern united states since the 1960s. one purpose of this study was to provide recent data on the prevalence of e. multilocularis in foxes and coyotes from eastern south dakota. in a survey conducted from 1987 to 1991 and involving 137 foxes and 9 coyotes from this area, 74.5% of the foxes and 4 o ...	2000	10701567
