New evidence from the northern Apennines, Italy, suggests a southward expansion of Echinococcus multilocularis range in Europe by Salvatore Andrea Cafiero, Luca Petroni, Luca Natucci, Orlando Tomassini, Thomas Romig, Marion Wassermann, Chiara Rossi, Heidi Christine Hauffe, Adriano Casulli, Alessandro Massolo

“…We aimed to investigate the occurrence of Em and other taeniids in wild carnivore faeces in the Apuan Alps Regional Park and the Monte Pisano mountain chain (northern Tuscany), a few hundred kilometres from the nearest report of Em in Italy. Using standard flotation-sieving and nested PCR of partial cox1 sequences on single harvested Taeniid eggs, we detected several Em haplotypes in red foxes and grey wolves in both study areas, suggesting limited genetic diversity. …”
