Assessing individual patterns of Echinococcus multilocularis infection in urban coyotes: non‐invasive genetic sampling as an epidemiological tool

2015-04-01

Abstract excerpt

In epidemiological studies of wildlife parasites, faecal genotyping has been introduced to prevent bias in estimates of parasite prevalence from faecal samples collected in the field. Such an approach could be particularly relevant in the study of Echinococcus multilocularis transmission in urban settings, where estimates of prevalence and patterns of infection in wild canid hosts are key parameters used in zoonot...
