Echinococcus multilocularis in Svalbard, Norway: Microsatellite genotyping to investigate the origin of a highly focal contamination.
International audience Echinococcus multilocularis is a threatening cestode involved in the human alveolar echinococcosis. The parasite, mainly described in temperate regions of the Northern hemisphere was described for the first time in 1999 in the High Arctic Svalbard archipelago, Norway. The orig...
