The 'bridge effect' by intermediate hosts may explain differential distributions of Echinococcus species.

Trends in parasitology - 1 Jul 2022

Massolo Alessandro, Simoncini Andrea, Romig Thomas

Abstract excerpt

Zoonotic cestodes of the genus Echinococcus show marked differences in their distribution patterns which have not been satisfactorily explained. Echinococcus multilocularis is limited to the Holarctic, whereas species in the Echinococcus granulosus sensu lato (s.l.) complex mostly have a worldwide distribution. We proposed and tested a 'bridge effect' hypothesis stating that the low virulence of species in the E....
