Echinococcus granulosus (Cestoda, Taeniidae) in the Iberian wolf
The intestinal contents of 27 Iberian wolves (Canis lupus signatus) from Spain were screened for the presence of the taenid cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Four animals were found positive (15% prevalence). The intensity of parasitation was variable (mean 71, range 1–147 E. granulosus per host). Gr...
