Spatial Distribut ion
Echinococcus multilocularis, the sibling vole, has restricted spatial distribution. A survey of feces from the main host, the arctic fox, showed that only the area occupied by the intermediate host is associated with increased risk for hu-man infection. The cestode Echinococcus multilocularis is the...
