Methods in genetics to investigate E. multilocularis transmission patterns
International audience Echinococcus multilocularis is a common tapeworm in foxes and rodents in the northern hemisphere and the causal agent of Alveolar Echinococcosis (AE). Epidemiological discontinuities are known: highly endemic in China, in expansion in Europe and rarely described in North Ameri...
