In addition to the widespread taxa with synanthropic transmission, a number of <jats:italic>Echinococcus<\/jats:italic> species were described from African wild carnivores early in the 20th century. For lack of study material, most of these were later tentatively synonymized with <jats:italic>E. granulosus<\/jats:italic>. Early infection experiments with wildlife isolates gave ambiguous results due to the use of unspecified parasite material, and only recently molecular methods provided the opportunity to shed light on the confusing scenery e.g. by characterizing <jats:italic>E. felidis<\/jats:italic> from the African lion. Here we will summarize the convoluted history of <jats:italic>Echinococcus<\/jats:italic> research in sub-Saharan Africa and highlight the necessity of molecular surveys to establish the life cycles and estimate the zoonotic potential of these parasites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0031182009990461","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,11]],"date-time":"2009-08-11T10:35:16Z","timestamp":1249986916000},"page":"1089-1095","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":40,"title":["<i>Echinococcus<\/i> species in African wildlife"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"136","author":[{"given":"M.","family":"H\u00dcTTNER","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T.","family":"ROMIG","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,8,11]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0031182009990461_ref025","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0035-9203(89)90664-0"},{"key":"S0031182009990461_ref001","volume-title":"Essentials of Cestodology.
