The fox as a definitive host of Echinococcus and its role in the spread of hydatid disease

In the first part of this discussion of the significance of the fox in the epidemiology of hydatid disease in man, the author reviews the literature on vulpine echinococciasis. He points out that the evidence available from field surveys and laboratory observations suggests that the fox is not a def...
